Briston Streamliner Urban - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I was looking for a "summer watch", a timepiece that was both sporty and elegant, with a rubber strap, if possible an automatic movement with a decent power reserve, all within a reasonable budget. I have always liked the Briston brand with their cushion case and their Acetate material, but I had never taken the plunge. During my research, I consulted reviews on Dialicious and appreciated the ClubMaster Diver Pro. I tried it on, but I realized that with age, my preference was for smaller watches. I tried the Streamliner Urban Chrono, but although very sporty, I also found it a little imposing and my choice fell on this very pretty Streamliner Urban Auto. The design is very elegant with this brushed steel upper bezel and 4 mirror-polished finish screws, and its navy blue dial with a "waffle" pattern. The mix of brushed steel and Acetate is very balanced, with fairly modest dimensions (40mm) and a contained thickness. It goes perfectly in "daily", with a shirt and a suit or at the beach. (waterproof 5 ATM) I really like the navy color of the background and the bracelet (I did not yet have this color in my collection), the whole is very successful. Hollowed hands (Hours and Minutes) with luminescent Superluminova inserts, white seconds hand, date at 6 o'clock. The movement is a Japanese NH35A automatic movement, a slightly short power reserve of 41 hours. We are entitled to a very beautiful transparent background with a view of the oscillating weight with "Côte de Genève" decoration The silicone strap (20 mm) is of excellent quality and is very pleasant, I also bought a very beautiful leather strap for this winter, in the same color. I am delighted with my purchase and find myself wearing it almost non-stop, it is taking up a very important place on my wrist!
