What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 3 reviews we read or watched, 2 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
Reviewers liked the 36 mm size and the very short lugs, which they said wear well on wrists from about 6 to 7.5 inches, and they praised the polished case finishing and the domed sapphire crystal, which one tested as sapphire. They liked the tilted dial and sub-dial, with railway track and applied or printed numerals, and one noted that on his version only the small seconds hand is blued. Complaints: the thin small hands can be hard to read, hand winding is noisy and the movement does not hack, and the short lugs make straps hard to fit and can mark them. One reviewer saw the minute hand sit about five minutes off the markers, and under macro the finish is below that of a more expensive homage. Opinions on the included leather strap were split: one found it decent for the price, another called it basic and a weak point.
Good
- Compact 36 mm cushion case with short lugs
- Domed sapphire crystal
- Tilted dial and sub-dial
- Polished finishing
Less good
- Thin hands can be hard to read
- Short lugs limit strap choice
- Noisy hand winding and no hacking
- Polished steel marks easily
