The contrasting white is great, and adds an instant retro flavour. The matt mid-blue matches perfectly with the fixed ceramic tachy bezel (love the choice to use ceramic BTW), and is freshened up even more thanks to the white, red and orange at play. I made that decision in the thick of the fair, but you know what, after a few months reflection, I think it holds up. I think this particular model excels at this job, which is why I chose it as one of my 10 favourite Baselworld 2018 releases.

And that job is telling the time and looking good. But while all that stuff is cool and sometimes really matters, at the end of the day it’s a watch on your wrist with a job to do. You can very quickly get caught up in the hullabaloo of new this, in-house that, and proprietary the other. If you spend more than a few minutes in the sometimes crazy world of watches, it’s easy to lose perspective.
