An energetic quartz chronograph

I bought this watch by chance twenty years ago after seeing an ad that reminded me of the ski chase scene in the Caucasus from the movie "The World Is Not Enough." I also really liked the orange numerals and the orange and black strap. Of course, the case is heavy (40x48mm) and the dial is confusing, but surprisingly, the time is very easy to read in all circumstances. The chronograph isn't a complication that really appeals to me, but if you put the chronograph aside, it makes for a very legible two-hand watch with a small quartz seconds hand at 6 o'clock that adds a bit of animation to the dial without having to endure the jolts of a large second hand. The date is at 4:30 p.m. and is relatively discreet. The strap and pin buckle are really cool, but over the past twenty years, the leather has definitely aged. The domed mineral glass has also taken a few knocks. The soundtrack for this watch would, of course, be the soundtrack to the film "The World Is Not Enough," featuring Garbage. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=nr2S0YgXWjA&list=OLAK5uy_mUa477o9q_jxwon8nEtTpWBAIfKLsWTxs Adjectives: sporty, massive, energetic, lively
