An aviation watch with character

First of all, we are hypnotized by the grained dial in a smoky green. The readability is excellent thanks to its "crosshair", its white sandwich indexes and its white hands. The date disc at 6 o'clock is particularly well integrated since it is the same color as the dial. Then our eyes are drawn to the fluted bezel which recalls the blades of a jet turbine (or the Oris Propilot of your choice). Let's now talk about this well-proportioned 41mm titanium case with a beautiful color characteristic of this metal, normally this material marks quickly, but it turns out that RZE has applied a surface treatment to improve its hardness is surprisingly light and resistant to the small aggressions of life. The horns are very well sculpted and these 3 facets give the impression that they are thinner than they actually are. There is only one thing left to see the screwed crown with its logo. Oversized, it allows an excellent grip. Note a particular sign that I have only seen on this model there is a kind of red tube that can be used as a foolproof device when the crown is not screwed. The titanium bracelet is very comfortable and does not scratch. It also has multiple possibilities for micro-adjustments. On the movement side we have a basic Seiko NH35 that does the job very well. This watch is very well made by RZE which is a young Singaporean brand and whose owners seem to really like lifestyle and adventurer objects such as watches, pens, knives all in titanium. In short, I really like this titanium watch. Its lightness, its resistance and its sober and magnificent look make it a superb chic sports watch to wear every day and for a fairly reasonable price given the materials used.
