This is a design that hearkens back to the watches that officers on naval ships would wear – first as pocket watches, and then, ultimately, as wrist watches. The watch itself is classic and simple. You have a 42mm polished case that contains manually-wound ETA 6498 movement driving the blued hands around the dial; enclosing the package is a sapphire crystal with AR coating on both sides. All of this starts at $720.
To my tastes, I like the cream face on the brown strap; however, you can opt for a black dial with white hands / indices, and/or a black strap. That’s not where your options end, however. For another $60, you can add a deployant clasp to your strap. Or, if you really want to upgrade things, you can go to their TOP model.
This upgrades the movement to an ETA 6498-2. This allows for a more accurate watch, as this movement ticks away at 21,600 beats-per-hour. It also brings some additional decoration, and amenities such as incabloc shock protection. It’s not a cheap upgrade, though. Pricing comes in at $1,095, which equates to about a 50% increase in the price.
Regardless of the movement you go with, or the particular color combinations, you’ll be getting a sharp looking watch.
