Hands-on with the Munich 5270
Another watch I was able to try on during my stay in Geneva last February was the ref. 5270G-015 . It is a 2013 limited edition of 50 pieces made for the Munich KunstWerkUhr fair. This model was the first variation to the 5270 , a reference introduced in ...
That Munich version certainly looks appealing.
But personally I prefer the contrast provided by the darkened hands of the original white gold version. Thanks, as always, for the pictures. Jon
I like the OG version very much too,
but I’ve never seen it in person. I imagine that the tachymeter scale and blue touches make the Munich look a tad sportier vs the OG which probably looks a little more classic and clean. But it’s just a guess. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful, quattro.
I quite like the less-cluttered print on the top half of the dial on this Munich edition. The chin never bothered me so much...
Hi Emmanuel, the colored metals provide a warm vintage feel !
For me, the "Chin" is too much because of asseymetry :-(
I completely agree with you concerning the warm vintage feel,
but I liked the YG much better than the RG here. As for the “chin” I thought it would bother me but it didn't at all... Best, Emmanuel
1st variant is perfection by a few miles (IMO of course!).
Clean, sharp, well proportioned, in white, perfect! Definitely hard not to unsee once you see the "chin", but is, I feel, not significant enough to affect the whole package (so to speak). Great post!
I like the 1st variant very much too,
but I’ve never had the opportunity to see it in person. The chin really didn’t bother me, but I guess I could feel differently on the long term. Best, Emmanuel
Actually, this could possibly be my favourite dial of all 5270 iterations as there is less empty space on the dial compared to "my" first gen G version
But I just cannot get used to that Jay Leno chin ....
If the chin bothers you, then this dial
isn’t for you, after all and despite its qualities! I didn’t find to be a problem personally but I definitely understand that one can feel differently about it. Best, Emmanuel
