The watch is beautiful. The combination of classic leather band with distinctive face gives it a basic elegance that is enhanced by an individualistic streak. The face is somewhat larger than one might have thought from the website image, but it adds rather than detracts from the overall effect. There are also some interesting touches that one cannot perceive online. On the functional side, I wanted a face watch that has the day, date and month. This one has those, plus the moon phase, which I really like. The website image suggests the day, date and month subdials are more legible than they really are. This is because the color contrast is not as sharp as online; the numbers and letters are not so much white as a kind of light metallic. Setting the watch required time, patience, and careful attention, but that should be expected of a watch keeping track of more than minutes and hours; best to read the entire set of instructions before beginning (it is not long actually), because later points can clarify and simplify earlier ones. The luminous element on the hands and numbers - something important to me as well - is on the thinner side. I have not seen the double clasp before. Again, the instructions were very helpful. I do not know if it is related to the double clasp or needs to be fixed, but the buckle and holed parts of the strap were reversed (buckle on bottom, holes on top). The picture online suggests this is how it should be. When all is said and done: my wife was genuinely impressed and that trumps all.
