The case is done extremely well, with many faceted sides. The lug-to-lug measurements are only 50mm, making the watch wear smaller than a typical 44mm wide timepiece. I’m not usually a huge fan of watches over 40mm, but this 44mm piece did not feel too bulky or overly burdensome. What I loved about this dial is being able to see the two escapements encased within the watch, and that’s ultimately what sets this watch apart. However, after a few days I got used to it. Admittedly, I even found it hard to focus on the dial at first. This may not be to everyone’s tastes but a solid face version is also available.

This is where the beauty of the watch lies, seeing that 1/100th of a second-hand move at the speed of one full rotation per second is mesmerising!!! During the time I had this watch for review, I found myself running the chronograph (50 odd minutes at a time) and just staring at the second-hand move.Last year I had the great pleasure of trying and and reviewing the Zenith El Primero 38mm in rose gold. Chronograph pushers are of solid build and with just one push of the 2 o’clock pusher, it sets off the 1/100th of a chronograph.
