I purchased this watch for myself and I love it. Highly recommended.
I have had this watch for a little over a month now and absolutely love it. This is NOT an over-the-top, oversized, crammed full of unnecessary features kind of watch. What this watch IS, is an extremely well made, intuitive to use, supremely accurate watch that is a pleasure to look at and feels perfect on the wrist. It has an understated, classy design that still manages to draw attention and compliments from others. The atomic time-keeping has been flawless and has updated every single night, without fail, since the day I purchased it (I live in the Pacific Northwest USA and have the time zone set to LAX). The movement on this watch is up there with some of the smoothest I have seen and all of the dials are incredibly precise - they line up exactly where they should, when they should. The perpetual calendar is easy to set up and is a 1 time "set and forget" affair. It will take care of everything (including leap years) from there on out. Setting the time zone is as simple as pulling the crown out one click, rotating it to the desired time zone, pressing the crown back in and you are done. Chronograph function is as simple as a press of the top right button to access chrono, another press to start, press again to stop, press the bottom right button once to zero and again to return to exit chrono. Checking battery level (eco-drive charged by any light source) and whether or not the watch received its last radio signal are also a one-button touch deal. If the radio signal indicator shows "NO" to last signal receipt, simply hold down the bottom right button for 2 seconds to manually initiate radio signal search. The slide rule bezel rotation occurs under the glass and although it functions smoothly and adds a touch of class to the watch, the markings are a little on the small side and are defficult to read unless you are sitting perfectly still. Not ideal for in-flight conditions so minus half a star for that. As there is no LED illumination, I would like to have seen a longer lasting, tritium-type hand and hour indicator illumination material. However, this is more of a dress-watch and the roughly 3 hours of illumination it provides is more than adequate. Minus another half star for that. The strap and clasp are quality and are brushed stainless steel. The weight is comfortable, this size looks just right on the wrist and the blue face with yellow accents compliment the watch perfectly and really make it "pop". An all round great watch! I have no regrets and other than the two little things I mentioned, no complaints either. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.
I bought it six months ago, I can not wear my other watches when I see this
As a former Blue Angel Maintainer, this watch means what we demonstrated in our air shows… Perfection
