  • Have you seen one in the flesh?? I looked at the green too but didn't take a photo but the bezel is actually raised, rather than a step down. It actually makes the date look claustrophobic. The high polish to the bezel is distracting in my opinion as well, bad move I feel. You can't really tell on the sandstone dial as it all blends in. I also prefer the black for this reason, better contrast and legality with the hour markers. The bracelet is nice, size is great, thick enough to have some presence but not too thick. But not enough dial contrast for me, also rather an OP 36 Black for the price.

    Like the Tresor line too and don't see many out and about but 40mm is too big in my opinion and price is high too.

    Not up close yet. I definitely prefer that previous(ish?) generation 38mm black dial - that's a really nice everyday watch if you didn't want / couldn't be bothered trying to get an OP/DJ.

    To be honest my favourite AT was the first co-axial reference (the modified ETA) with the date at 3, before they added the "decking stripes" to the dial. Came in a 36mm version too.

  • Agree on the everyday watch front and a current 36mm would do great. I like the hands on the earlier references and the earlier white dials but I recall the black dial being quite glossy / lacquered. Think I prefer the finish of the current dials and feel the linework on it separates it nicely from other brands without being too distracting. Not so fond of the link to an actual yacht deck but like the design.
    Always liked how sharp and almost graphical the markers are too.

    Edit: Well the algorithms still algorithm-ing. Just went on Instagram, popped straight up and don't follow the account.

  • I think the one I pictured was also the first to use the 15000 gauss movement as well.

  • I love the decking stripes personally...

    I'd love an AT if it wasn't so damn expensive!
