Mitch Mason Maelstrom Owner Review : Convicing, endearing and pleasant

Having recently bought the Alpina Seastrong and disappointed with the Lume offered by the brand, I was naturally drawn to Mitch Mason's promises. A Dual Crown watch, compressor with a simple and readable dial. All the qualities I was looking for in Alpina BUT, in addition to the sunray of this dial, offered in many colors (what's better than an ocean blue for a Diver?!) a Lume "designed to be your torch in the dark, whether on your bedside table or in the depths of the ocean". A promise kept by this model from the Singapore brand. Their wish: to bring timeless and durable watches to our wrists thanks to vintage-inspired designs refreshed with a contemporary purpose. Light, sober, I very quickly put it on a Cordura strap, thanks to the quick pumps. The brand also offers a NATO strap, coordinated, which I was unable to order due to the summer stock shortage. I quickly returned to the metal bracelet which brings robustness and a sporty chic side to this watch. A maelstrom is an aquatic phenomenon that presents the fierce power of water, formed by opposing currents. Apart from its powerful nature, it is also a spectacle to behold. The case back attempts to represent this energy by 3D printing a whale diving. 40mm diameter, 12mm thick, it will be forgotten that your wrist is there until nightfall. Equipped with a Myiota 9015 high beat, it does what it is asked to do, it tells the time, with style. Be careful, upon delivery, customs fees are to be expected.
