Saw it in person this week - gotta say it really is a handsome watch, especially the three hander, which to me is the secret star of the collection.

In the end, who really cares what they call it or whether it has a slide rule bezel, when fundamentally it is a good watch on its own merits.

And it has everything we always bi*** about: a perfectly placed and color matched date window, proper water resistance, a beautifully clean and balanced dial, a distinctive design that is just strong enough to give it identity but discrete enough not to be the "early 21st century Breitling" type of garish, it offers a splash of color for those who prefer blue and a no-bs, sober black variant for those who don't. And its only about 11mm thick...

So what's not to like? Well I sure think I'm gonna get one.
