An eye catching dial, a superb and very interesting movement. Superb, because it is  nicely decorated? Yes, it could be better finished, but at this level of price... Interesting because it is the combination of a dead second and a world time. 

As for the eye catching dial... A picture speaks louder than a thousand words: 



In my opinion, one of the 5 best watches produced in these 5 last years, in the " affordable " category. 

Best,

Nicolas

The SS version is on my list but it got bumped by the new Chrono/calander [nt]

There is some place for both. And if only one, I would favor the Geophysic UT for the reasons I mentioned. [nt]

+1 Mine (recently acquired) says Hi :-)

It is a beautiful watch and underrated when looking at the current prices in the secondary market. However, sometimes I wonder where the brand is heading given yesterday’s release of the MUT. I even like the design but the rest (pricing, limited edition, marketing, sales channel) leaves me speechless. It‘s hard to not take it as a gimmick...
