I had to look that up. Still it's good to know AoS abides by the Reithain values of: "Information, Education and Entertainment". :)Quote:

I am wrong however, it's more sunburst as the embossing is radial rather than concentric.
Did you say the Sinn could do three time zones Rob? I can see two :scratch:
Main indices is one zone, GMT hand is the second zone and the third is the bezel which adjusts via the crown at 10 o'clock.
Set three hours back...

Indeed, a minimum of 1,000m today as it's raining with a stiff breeze. :D
Better safe than sorry then, stayed with the blue face to match today's ensemble :lol:Quote:

It's different, but it's not for me.
It's known as a Cali (California) dial. I don't know the thinking behind it but it's quite widely used in watchmaking, particularly on Italian Navy and Radiomir watches (Panerai and it's homage counterparts).
Thanks - I didn't know that.

Seems we have to thank Rolex amongst others for the idea - but I still can't see the point of it.
Nor me. Seems half and half to me, I prefer indices to numerals personally.
Hadn’t even noticed till Barry pointed it out.
nice old timey off white dial
Still in the Invicta box

One for each wrist?
An elegant looking watch - I like it. :)
Nice watch but is it water resistant enough to be out in the rain? :D
Something understated from Invicta (really!?), an homage to the original submariner from 1953.
If it wasn't for the fact it's got 'Invicta' on the dial I'd swear it was made by someone else.

Brushing and machining look good quality, better than some other Invicta's?
