Wind of change 's review on his Kelton Mille

I quite like this unassuming little watch; it's rather quirky. It has a kind of cheap, 80s feel to it. The tachymeter is a complication designed more to spark the imagination than to be truly useful. Who, after all, uses that scale to measure the time it takes to travel a kilometer? And thus deduce the speed of an object? Perhaps bus passengers, bored on a long journey, watching the kilometer markers tick by outside their window. Or maybe the driver of a vehicle whose roadworthiness certificate is long overdue and whose speedometer is malfunctioning? It reminds me of the anecdote about the new owner of a used car at a ridiculously low price who proudly shows off his new ride to a friend who asks him how he manages if the speedometer doesn't work at all. "It's very simple: when I'm driving at 30 km/h, the rearview mirror vibrates; when I go 60 km/h, the steering wheel shakes; and when I go 80 km/h, my teeth chatter!" So, pushing the speedometer to 1,000 km/h is taking logic to the extreme. What vehicle can reach 1,000 km/h while measuring the time between two kilometer markers with a watch on its wrist? (That represents 3 seconds on the scale.) Even the speedometer on Neil Armstrong's watch stopped at 500. 1,000 km/h is as absurd as a child's dream. And perhaps that's the meaning of this watch: the dream of a child bored in the back of a car on an endless journey. The date window is positioned at 4:30 for discretion and originality. It's a rather good choice. The stainless steel case is 40mm in diameter and 14mm thick. The bezel is fixed. The movement is automatic, a Seagull ST1612. It has a hacking seconds function for easy and precise time setting, and also a quick-set date function. The blue dial complements the orange hour markers, numerals, and strap. The luminescent material is insufficient as it fades very quickly. This isn't a precious or precise watch; it's more of a fun watch that allows you to dream on a limited budget, as is typical of the Kelton brand. As they say, "If you change your style, change your Kelton." The music I would associate with this watch, as the brand suggests, is the soundtrack from Mission Impossible 5: Rogue Nation https://youtu.be/PZmL630oQQ8?si=S75uankSwN3u35D0&t=315
