Got this watch as a graduation gift for my son. He wanted a watch with a leather band. This watch is now his favorite. It's a great looking watch. He loves the leather band. Might actually get one for myself.
This is my third Atomic Citizen's watch and a great one at that. I do enjoy a leather band and thought it would be nice to try the new design. One problem with standard leather bands is that they wear out in a relatively short time compared to metal bands. The new design doesn't seem to suffer from this problem. The band works great! I'm a fanatic for accuracy and it's a real pleasure to get up in the morning and see all three of my Atomic Citizen's second hands move it totls sync.
the watch is great. It's not recommended to pull the crown while it's on your wrist, so you're better take it off if you wants to use the mode chrono. The watch band is a failure: it's 1cm thick, even if you let the leather softning, you'll stay with an unplesant feeling.
