Good afternoon. I see here more and more people gravitate to admiring Code 11.59 for its complexity and new design. I wonder if the 11.59 chronograph can be used as a tool watch for travelling, working and admiring at the beach. Does anyone have such an e...  

I would pass on this. The case would bring home quite a bit of sand, I fear. There were movement issues early on with the flyback chronograph. I understand they have all been corrected. Scratch resistance - my CODE Starwheel does not have a spec on it and... 

The fact that the watch has almost no bezel and a protruding sapphire crystal is a good sign for no scratches.

And it offers quite a unique look, at least for me, as I don't have any other watches with such a thin bezel. BTW, a BIG welcome here!!! I just noticed these are your first posts. Please enjoy the forums and participate as much as you like!

Maybe if they use the new "sand gold" material for a CODE 11.59 case, then it can be a beach watch ;-)

Not a beach watch, unless someone watches it while u go into the water

Hard to explain why they couldn't engineer decent WR out of the case considering the number of years it took them.

Was the thin hands. They rectified that with the new generation

As a daily I enjoy wearing mine for stretches of time, but I am protective. And as the others have indicated, I wouldn’t go near any significant body of water with any Code. Washing my hands is as close as I get.

I am hoping to take my starwheel to swim at my next vacation! I'm certain the watches are tested well, but I always go to the boutique to check the seals and water resistance. Many thanks for sharing! One of my favorites . Peter

When i saw the pics i didn’t gave it much attention tbh but when a friend of mine got one and i tried it on my wrist it was instant love. Looks amazing. Hope to be part of the family soon 🙏🏻😉

Awesome piece. Not the best photos from the dinner table, but here they are. ...
