The furthest ive ever descended was around 300 meters, the rays held up great as well as the citizens.. i prefer the orange ray for visibility/ legibility.

@OldLineWatches4 ай бұрын
"Not in style with normal classic watch styles" is literally the point of the brand. They're trying to do something different instead of the 10,000th variant of the oyster style. I'm sorry you do not like it, but the industry doesn't cater exclusively to your expectations.

Vario is the real deal! Their leather straps are incredible...especially the Bund. I'm going to check out some others. Great looking watch here. Love how the signature on the dial is a little camouflaged. Nice small seconds.

even when it's not my personal style (the Empire Chrono comes to mind), I really love everything about what they do. The design language shows so much thought and care. These D12's really exemplify it. Sticking to the spirit of the original while barely making their own mark on it. It's a delicate balance.
