Simple and accurate

Two days shy of having this on my wrist for a full month. Enjoying the simplicity and versatility of this Ochs. Very comfortable and legible and I think the comments I get from the non watch people and watch people alike is a lot more than the ‘normal’ watches I have.

As for accuracy, a very ‘simple and basic’ ETA 2824 - Ochs must have done some serious level of tuning on this one as it has only gained 9 seconds over the last 29 days. Besides my Grand Seiko and Omega SM300, I don’t have any other watch that runs at this level. I am impressed.

No kidneys or limbs sold for what I would term an amazing watch.

That’s the date

The dots correspond to each of the visible hour markers that make up 5 days. The current position of the red dot indicates today’s date which is the 19th

Thanks a bunch for the compliments! :-)

As in my initial post when I got this watch, I was thinking it might be my exit watch. Well, 29 days later, and I’m still thinking that. A good sign, maybe?

Congratulations Richard

it looks amazing. I’m so happy to read about your user experience. I am planning a “date” for my self at the moment. I think it Has the most elegant basic layout of the lot even though I have an eye on the moon as well. Can I ask how you, please, how easy... 

Same concerns I initially had but it was easy

Actually, I don’t have much of an issue of getting used to reading the time with the 6 hour markers. It was definitely much easier than getting used to telling the date by a dot that kept moving Once the mind gets used to the markers and that the dots are... 

hour marker...

I'm sure Beat would agree to do it if you insisted...but it isn't such a good idea. Having the hour markers at those 2 hour intervals divides the 30 days into fives - and it is this that makes reading the date so easy at a glance, once you're used to it (... 

Spot on!

And the beauty of Ochs is that everything can be discussed with Beat, as you say. My sturgeon strap is arriving in two days and from what I hear it will be the only strap I’ll need

Thanks for your input.

I’m really on the fence with the second hand. I met with Beat and he showed me the seconds disk. It is such a cool and original feature. On the other hand I am a big fan of central seconds. I don’t like two handed watches because the feel “dead” to me. It... 

Looks great , good choice .

and the accuracy makes me 'smile' at more illustrious brands - you know the ones!

Oh yes, I certainly do

Definitely leaps and bounds better than the +5.1 sec daily and at less than 20% of the cost....plus this can really take a beating...from off roading to the badminton courts and the pool.

Thanks!

My daughter is the designer (or customiser). Equally nice watch as your avatar too!

That is very true...

 
 By: rnaden : June 19th, 2018-07:14
...but the value here is not only a very well built and accurate watch, it is also something that is customised individually and not something you’ll see on the wrists of others in the same room, and for me, that it is not recognisable. The icing is reall... 

I love your O&J

With an endless amount of color combinations made available, I can see how things could go wrong if not careful. Here we see a perfect example of a beautifully executed O&J... very well done!
