It was about time! I've been eyeing the big crown pointer date for years... and I'm finally falling for this particular series with the ideal diameter gradient dials this Christmas 2023. After hesitating with the blue South Sea, the gray seems more consensual and less subject to weariness over the years. So good to wear a watch from the legendary category! Obviously the pointer date function brings a precious and appreciated originality. Just like its fluted bezel that I consider essential here! And obviously again (must have), the glass is sapphire, domed on both sides, anti-reflective treated on the inner side. It is equipped with a widely tested movement (SW200 base) and so well adjusted, allowing an almost reasonable sale price (despite recent and substantial price increases). Perfect dimensions for this iconic aviator watch with a vintage look (diameter 38, lug to lug 45.7, thickness 12.5, weight 62gr). We can certainly be skeptical about the 19 lug width and even more so about the unnecessarily screwed crown, two weaknesses that are quickly forgotten in the face of its unique charm. It offers a deer leather strap that is both supple and thick, the strength and durability of which I will gladly test in the coming months.
