Very technical watch

I'd never seen this watch "in person," but on paper, its specifications interested me, with the possibility of returning it if I didn't like it, which seemed easy. Well, I kept it... Firstly, because it immediately suited my wrist: the size and shape of the case, comfort, lightness, and the strap's closure system. Also, for several technical reasons: - The case is mounted on a spring system that allows it to follow the movements of the wrist. The watch is very comfortable to wear, but I have no idea if this is the cause. This is also supposed to protect the caliber in the event of an impact; fortunately, I don't have the answer yet. - The dial is meteorite plated over rose gold. I find the dial brighter than in the photos. I like it or not. Personally, it suits me; it adds shine, and depending on the light, the meteorite (Widmanstätten) patterns stand out more or less. Note that the date window is very well integrated. - The Sellita caliber is COSC certified (certificate provided). I've owned the watch for a month, and the deviation is minus 2 seconds. - Finally, their patented strap attachment system allows for very quick size adjustment. However, I find that the three-layer construction: two strands + the carbon buckle, feels a bit bulky on the wrist. I haven't owned this model for long, but so far, I'm very satisfied with it.

Pros & Cons for this watch

Very light watch, very comfortable, very precise

The meteorite dial is neither too discreet nor too ostentatious

The packaging is really very minimalist...
