One of my latest acquisitions, a favorite that I bought for myself to celebrate my departure from a company that didn't fulfill me for 1 year (the vacation bonus was spent with great pleasure). I discovered the model thanks to Hany in small watches between friends. I must admit that it convinced me because a few months later, I couldn't resist buying mine. I opted for the heritage model, in the colors of the original watch. And I love it! I have always appreciated the super compressor cases (I already had my Spinnaker Bradner), and this one caught my eye, the work of the case is great, the proportions seem perfect to me. The 300m water resistance is appreciable and makes it a real diver (even if the LumiNova is not incredible). The play of colors and the depth of the dial are its main qualities (thanks to a very pretty flange that acts as a rotating bezel that can be manipulated by the second screw-down crown). The domed glass also contributes to its charm and the impression of depth. The applied indexes are also very fine and very pretty. The hands are also level and I appreciate the integration of the date. The engraved case back is also very nice. The big plus is also this rubber strap that suits it wonderfully and gives a style halfway between sport and almost sartorialism. In addition, it gives an impression of quality, solidity and incredible comfort. However, it can be combined with a black leather strap or a metal strap without end-link for a very pronounced vintage style. In short, a real must-have! A look that has crossed the decades and is still just as popular. I think it will remain my must-have for many years to come. I am really delighted with it.
