Beaubleu Vitruve Date Acier Owner Review : Charming, chic and elegant

I was looking for an original watch and I was attracted by this brand that offers watches with all the roundness. I hesitated a lot between the different models. The GMT models have two crowns and to integrate them, the shape of the case is different and loses its interest for me. On this Vitruve as on the non-GMT Ecce, the horns meet on the edges of the watch giving the impression that they "enclose" a round case. The dial is in brushed steel with circled holes as indexes. The edge of these holes looks like a thin, polished ring that contrasts with the brushed finish of the dial, creating interesting effects with the light. The hands are in the shape of a circle of course since it is the signature of Beaubleu, they are in polished steel and the seconds hand is blued. Unlike some people who find it difficult to read the time, I don't think so, I have no trouble reading the time and this is thanks to the dots on the hour and minute hands that allow you to locate the end of the "needle". The finishes are really beautiful, with an alternation of polished and brushed. The polish is magnificent, it's almost a mirror! The back is open to see the movement. There are engravings around the sapphire crystal that recall the brand, the collection, the serial number (limited series of 888 copies). The movement is a little decorated and without being an exceptional movement, I always enjoy seeing the movements of my watches. I chose the steel bracelet after hesitating with the leather strap. I don't regret it at all, the bracelet is beautiful and comfortable. It fits perfectly with the watch, is easily adjusted and it's an aesthetic plus!
