To me, this watch is the purest expression of continuation of the top winder watches from the 1930s (understand the irony of the crown not being the top, but the placement of second subdial can be read as if it was)
A really gorgeous watch with a two tone dial execution, where the logo, seconds subdial and date window are perfectly balanced. Bravo.
