I know somebody who maybe will not convinced by this move (despite the nice instegration of the date window) but I suppose it meets some market expectations. But this watch is not the addition of the date - full stop. It also features the Dual Ulysse Escapement (clearly visible) and as you can see it on the picture, the famous "rotating bridge" was fully redesigned for a lighter visual effect and of course, for an optimized performance.
