Review:
A very good quality watch
This watch was kindly sent to me for review and I think it is a very good quality watch. (If you prefer a leather band, by the way, this watch is available with a black calfskin band.)
It comes in a very nice, hinged presentation box with a manual and a little presentation bag, which would make it a very nice gift. First impressions of the watch are excellent. It is solid with a good weight and a very nice, good-quality two-tone band and has a good, durable feel about it. It has a large face, 4cm in diameter (about 1.5 inches) and the dial looks very nice: it is black with simple luminous gold markings and hands. There's a second hand which has a continuous motion rather than second-by-second, which I like very much, and a good clear day and date display. (You can have the days in English or French.) The bezel is gold, with a silver-finish steel body and a nice two-tone band to match the two metals on the watch itself. The clasp is neat, works well and is secure. (A link-removing tool is supplied so you can adjust the band to the size of your wrist.)
Functionally, it's very good. The mechanism is mechanical not quartz-driven, and it's wound automatically by normal movement as it is worn on the wrist. (You can also wind it using the crown as normal.) There is a window in the back so you can see the movement and the winding mechanism in action – another very nice touch. It keeps very good time, it is shockproof and scratch resistant, and it is rated as water resistant up to 50 metres depth. I can't vouch for this, but it's plainly made to last and comes with a good warranty so the manufacturers clearly have faith in it.
In summary, this is a very good watch which is very well made and durable. I can't find any fault with it and if you like the way this looks, I'd say don't hesitate. It's very good quality watch and should last you for years. Recommended.
