And some friends asked me what are those little moons around the Moonphase display. 5015 is one of the few watches with “moon’s age indicator” (as performed by the hand at at Moonphase display) and those little moons represent The First Quarter, Full Moon and The Last Quarter of the circle of Moonphase. I’m not very good with astronomy stuff so this is what I could share with you!

Cheers!

Absolutely top-notch...

...I wanted one of these soooo badly when it first came out. But there was no way I could have afforded it at the time. But that reminds me. I need to make a list of all the watches that I love that I could never afford then that I could buy now. Many of them are still quite reasonably priced.

An interesting piece !

The dots on the bezel is so special ! Is there a technical term for this type of bezel ?
