Platinum case. 

The power reserve indicator is better included, in this open dial. 





It won't beat the Dato first generation for me, but it is cool looking, like this. 

Best,

Nicolas

Personally this uniquely beats the original. Gorgeous while teutonically true at the same time

It may be in part due to the lovely blue/grey dial colour which is one of my favourite colours for a dial as well as the way everything is so clean and legible and I really like the big date. I know what i have said may be considered blasphemy by some but I just like what I like. Whilst I'm being honest I feel the same way about Patek Philippe I love some models but not all but having said that I can still appreciate what both brands deliver in regards to high quality movements, spectacular dial

first or second is fine. I was really excited about the first Lumen (the Zeitwerk) but the novelty worn off after the second release for me. This Dato Lumen is the forth Lumen I believe.

I like the Grande Lange 1 Lumen too (without the moonphase).

That's why I had to specifically mention without the moonphase. 😄 I like the moon to be in its original location.
