SNA411 you know it if you are a connoisseur!

Nicknamed Poor Man Navitimer, my first pilot watch given to me for my 30th birthday by my wife ❤, what can I say, 16 years later I still enjoy dressing it with a new strap, everything suits it, nato, special forces para elastic, and the incredible original steel with solid links. I never understood and used the scale on the bezel that allows you to calculate everything 😂. Screwed pushers and crowns, water-resistant to 200m, its curved glass gives a sublime depth to the dial depending on the angle. Its only flaw is that it is quartz but how could it be mechanical at a retail price of €450 at the time, and found for around €250 in Japan as was the case for us. The battery lasts 5 years and costs a handful of euros. I think this watch is hard to find today, perhaps an imminent production stoppage. It's iconic and I can definitely never part with it.
