all the profits from this watch is donated to the Wellcome Trust towards COVID-19 Medical Research !!


UJ is known for its classic aesthetics with teardrop lugs & Observatory hands....


further to that very special Racing Green dial with Clou de Paris...the Big-8 at 40mm steel case !


The movement is the standard one as in the Big8, the Frederic Piguet 1160. Priced £13,500 including VAT.


And most importantly it is limited to 10 pcs only !



I personally like the British Green dial & of course the tear drop lugs of UJ !!


Best,
mahesh.,

For a good cause. Not a bad dial but I still prefer the Alfred in 40mm although I like the fact that the date window at 6 o'clock on the standard model has been removed resulting in a cleaner dial. My question would be how does the Frederic Piguet movemen... 

Big 8 is kind of entry level UJ, so I'm doubtful if the FP movement is better finished comparing to Alfred movement.

Alfred is more attractive partially due to the Breguet numerals !

Interestingly Mahesh

Both the Alfred and Big 8 are priced similarly and where one in a proprietary manual movement, the other is an outside sourced automatic movement. The manual movement is always nicer to look at in my opinion. I am not sure if UJ finishes the Frederic Pigu... 

I totally agree Mahesh!

The manual movements of UJ for me are a lot more impressive than the Frederic Piguet 1160.

Beautiful [nt]

Beautiful dial color...

...but the blued hands look like they might get lost. Also (very important), the numerals 'V' through 'VIII' should be flipped 180-degrees.

and 4 is IV...

i got the same doubt on the hands vs dial but pictures are hard to predict the contrast levels.

I really like this dial a lot .
