Definitely a keeper. Marine Chronometer. A lot of watch.

Stunning white enamel dial.
Somewhat elongated but attractive romans.
Like the hands and the oversized sundial for seconds.
Yes a date but I'm ok with it and find it not intrusive.

Internally. Truly a modern watch with UN created specials. Silicium technology and Diamonsil escapement.

All in a very wearable and comfortable 40mm case.

A true winner.

The store would not allow photos, but I loved it. Great case size, and quite charming on the wrist. Enjoy my friend!!

The only reason I have resisted it

I don't like watches too similar to each other in my small collection. I love the UN's inner bezel, although it does make the dial small in person. Still, this detail is charming. But, I have a very similar piece I enjoy more, so this particular UN is a p...  

Yes, without question here.

They are really very different watches, but with similar dials and functions. The movement on the Glashutte is a hallmark for me, and I love winding a "Chronometer", just like my real UN ships chronometer from 1937. ...  

Very true.

I've been a big fan of the Marine chronometer line from UN for a long time. If only there was no date window! (Sigh) They did do an anniversary edition a long time ago with no date - I am trying to hunt down one of those. But as you say - a winner from UN... 

Ha. Knew there would be comments about the sate but the aperture for the date is small enough that it is unobtrusive.

I have spoken with friends at UN and my AD and they say that the general public wants a date. Oh well. Carry on.

Haha. Why would a marketing team"lie" :-)

It is a lovely watch. You are right, Mitch. The date window is quite unobtrusive.

I wonder!!! ;) [nt]

It's a handsome watch, indeed. I've rapidly become a huge fan of the brand. Enjoy the new piece. M4
