One of the big attractions of this piece was the fact that to everyone it looks like a very simple three hand watch. No indications whatsoever of what might be going on underneath that dial. Most definitely not something to grab any unwanted eyes.
I was unsure at first about the dial, I am generally not a fan of Roman numerals as often I find they give the watch an older feel, dated even. This was the primary reason several years ago I bought the current Dato Up/Down and not the original Dato which was a far better fit for my wrist. I couldn’t get past how I viewed the Roman numerals and how (to me) it made the watch seem almost old fashioned (I know, don’t shoot me it’s just an opinion). Here however I find the romans do not have the same effect, the dial is clean and the contrast with the numerals is stark. So much so it feels modern or contemporary.
I’m enjoying this one and when life returns to normal and office and client visits become regular again I can see this being a regular companion.
