This tribute to 1959 Alpinist spoke to me since day 1. Finally the right opportunity presented itself, and I have been very happy with it in the collection. 36mm wears really well, and has inspired me to look for other pieces in that size. I can't stress ...  

Great shot!

The strap does wonders, Question for you: In the photo the dial appears to have a kind of crosshatching in the black areas, almost the way meteorite dials can have. I assume that is just a trick of the light?
