What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 7 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers liked how light the full titanium watch is, at 92 to 97 g on the bracelet, and the short 44 mm lug to lug. The tool-free bracelet adjustment was the feature most often praised, along with the signed clasp with micro-adjustment. The ceramic bezel was well aligned and its action ranged from good to just average, and the lume, including the icy-blue BGW-9 option, was called strong, with the bezel fading before the hands. Common complaints were a ghost date position on a dateless watch, two reviewers wishing for a date window, a plain unsigned crown, and one reviewer wanting a larger version. One reviewer measured the case at 38.3 mm (about 39 mm at the bezel) against the brand's 39 mm, and reviewers describe the design as a titanium take on the smaller Pelagos.
Three later-read reviews agree on most of this. Weight was 89 to 94 g on the bracelet with links removed; the lug-to-lug came out at 44 to 44.4 mm and the case at 38.3 to 38.4 mm. All three praised the lume, and two the sapphire crystal. Bezel comments ranged from slightly gritty to loose but well aligned with little back play. One saw a unit run 4 seconds a day slow.
