A small watch that has everything a big one has

This watch was given to me by my wife for my appointment in the civil service, so in my eyes it is one (if not the) of my favorites in my collection. That being said, it is objectively very successful. In 35mm, it is intended to be very elegant, dressed but the cushion case (or tonneau I do not know) makes it very present on the wrist in reality. It gives an impression much larger than 35mm. Its sunburst dial and the black/gold combo of the indexes and hands are incredibly classy! The second hand with the lightning-shaped tip recalls the origin of this model, as does the fact that it is offered in quartz. It is also in this respect that even the exact same model of this watch existed in automatic, I would opt in any case for the quartz model. This watch really has a notable presence. It may be the least expensive in my collection, but it is the one I am most "proud" of on my wrist (regardless of the affection I have for it). The bracelet is quite suitable. For 200 euros, it is a must-have for me, especially since it is a historic model from a historic brand. Small defect however on the second hand which is not well aligned with the factory railway.
