What we like about this watch

This limited edition watch’s handmade enamel dial is both beautiful to the eye and a rarity in the world of horology, especially within this price range. It presents as a glossy, almost milky surface that captures the light completely differently from a normal white dial. Although it is certainly more dress watch-themed, it can also be worn casually owing to the 40 mm case size. The exhibition caseback is welcomed, as the rose gold-colored rotor is uncommon and well decorated.

What you should know

The leather strap, although original, shows clear signs of wear. There is some light staining on the inside caused by the inside touching the black exterior of the strap. Fortunately, the leather has no tears and is otherwise in good condition, with many more years of usage left.
