A forgotten legend resurrected!

The Eska brand, which disappeared in the 20th century, was revived by two entrepreneurs passionate about watchmaking. The idea was a good one and was shared by numerous YouTube channels. I admit I wasn't tempted by this Kickstarter with a Seiko movement, which I certainly like, but not at the price of 880 euros. A new edition was released in black with a Sellita, and the desire returned for a price around 1,000 euros. During the peak season, I fell for this smoked red version. I love the contrast of the indexes with this smoked red dial. The bezel is simple, and I would have liked the coating to be domed to reinforce its 1970s style. The charger strap included in the pack was also a factor that triggered the purchase. As a lucky owner of a Zenith Tonneau, this strap is super comfortable, and having it on this Eska made me want it. I love this Eska, which is supposedly a revival of the Amphibian 600. It's comfortable to wear, and the strap contributes to that. Perhaps the intention was to say it's the 250 to avoid designing a watch resistant to 600m. I love the smoked red dial and the contrast with the indexes and bezel. The bezel's clicking sound is very pleasant. I don't know if I'd put it in water because I'm not convinced of its robustness. It's a pretty, pleasant watch with a seventies look that's a pleasure to wear.
