i'm assuming that the movement is a V7753 base?

are straps easily changed as i cant bear or wear rubber. there are far to many hi priced watches coming out with rubber straps IMO, but they look good so perhaps i should get used to it.

i'm surprised thats its a matt finish ceramic, but it looks all the better for it. very stealth, very phantom.

i'd seriously consider changing my phantom chrono for this watch.

thanks again JiaXian.

I am unsure if the strap is easily changed, the press material makes no mention of that so I would assume it is not. - SJX

no its a modular construction, its based on a ETA 2894 with a

It evokes a more military feel for me…

… particularly the top image. Looks like something that might explode if you pulled the pin. Although it doesn’t directly appeal to me, I can see the extension of a certain modern military-influenced lineage with stealthy ceramic case and black dial, larg... 

When was Wyler resurrected?
