Playing with the strap selector one understands more about the case head in isolation




Gone are the angular end links that some suggest rappelle Seiko or Zenith Defy




Now the case is revealed as very much in the design language of Omega, don’t you agree?

would be my preference for this model, ploprof style (your first pic looks like a milanese, could be wrong though!).

Shark mesh and textile straps. I suspect the biggest point of contention for many will be the PCL in the bracelet . Have to see it in the metal, but not loving the bracelet and clasp design language from the pics

PCL, case top chamfers, clasp. Some design elements give strong seiko vibes. The laser etching on the case back is a disgrace, I could live with it but such a downgrade from the original PO.

Although not the laser etching but my feelings on that are much less pronounced than yours πŸ˜‚

Now it looks the part. Black bezel on a black nato would be my choice.
