I bought this watch for my pilot husband for our anniversary. It is very classy and looks better in person then in the pictures. The leather strap is a little thin but matches well. He usually prefers leather, but the two-toned link band looks very nice! It is a solid and heavy watch.
I really like this watch. The white and blue "panda" look is very striking. I'm an automatic movement snob, but I have to admit, I'm loving the absolute accuracy of this watch. I tend to prefer bracelets and I like this one, but I hate butterfly clasps. I like the color of this faux nato strap, but not the strap. I bought a 2 piece blue leather band from bocane to wear with it and love it. If there's one thing I wish they'd change it's the color of the subdial hands, white would be so much easier to see.
Great watch however two weeks into having the watch the 3 o'clock subdial has misaligned itself. Every time I reset the chrono with the 2nd button it won't go back to zero. I've been looking everywhere online to find out how to reset it but I've come up short. This might need to be sent back for maintenance which is fine however you wouldn't expect this inconvenience on a chrono just shy of a thousand dollars.
Beautiful Watch. This watch has so much detail, pictures don't do it justice. The included bracelet looks incredible with it but putting it on a strap dials it back to casual - still stunning. The 43.5mm case is a welcome improvement - I hope an all-black version in this size comes out. And the incredible "262" movement! What an awesome watch.
