Both 38mm with the now discontinued El Primero Cal.400: - 100m WR case, iconic tricolour with traditional sized subdials. - A386 revival case, 50m WR, “Manufacture Edition” with 3 shades of blue.

Just for the pleasure of the eyes. I should have never passed on this one. Best, Nicolas

This time on a blue ostrich strap. Always a fun watch to wear. Any others out there these days?
