A very interesting reference
I really do love the New Vintage 1969 line a lot - in some way, I find them more successful than their vintage antecedents, but this particular model has left me very ambivalent. My main reservation has to do with legibility of the transparent dial. What's your first-hand impression and experience on this subject?
A "steampunk" El Primero
Team, Today, a city holiday, I got a good morning light to take some pics of my New Vintage 1969 El Primero black titanium. This watch, along with a SS and gold versions, was released in 2009 to celebrate the 40 years of the El Primero movement. It's powe...
Sweet composition

Good question ...
The legibility is barely passable. On dayligth is fine but under low light conditions is far from being ok. The lume is weak and on my bedroom is very hard to read. I got it because I love the case design, I want to have a Ti cased Zenth and the price was...
