An incredible watch, big, very big ( 53 mm ) but light thanks to the titanium case. The dial is another great asset of this watch. Now, I would say the same thing than for the other Giant, the Big Egiziano... Make it in 47 mm case, and I am in!!! Best, Ni

As much as I enjoyed the Mare Nostrum, I have to say: the bezel numerals are a bit odd. Though I suppose keeping the bezel plain is a bit odd, too. I suppose the whole watch is odd!

I only saw a few, very few of them... 3 or 4, including my ex one. Credit unknown, but I will happily credit on request. I find it uber fascinating. Best, Nicolas

I found mine in 2017 with its original blue shark straps but regrettably sans box or papers. Anyway this doesn’t deters my enjoying this beautiful watch on my wrist! Cheers! Abel
