I have one dress watch that I wear mostly on quiet evenings at home. That used to be once or twice a week but I have started to realize Im maybe not much of a dress watch person.
So I have started to gravitate towards wearing a non-dress watch and then dressing it up instead with a nice strap as it feels more genuine towards the person I am.
While the contrast of putting a dainty dress piece on a cave man such as myself is fun and all, Im mostly into my more rugged pieces.
Oh, wait I see they have made new cheaper hand wound watches as well with plexiglass. They were not there a month or so ago 😁 Then they only had plexi automatics and the sapphire sellitas
The sellita is hand wound! The cheaper plexiglass versions are automatics. The one on the picture you sent me is the same model I have with the onion crown 👍🏻 Its just cool how it says Antimagnetisch on the dial 😎
I was too looking out for a dirty dozen, Timor or Vertex, but then found this, but before they launched their manual wind watches. Then I saw them popped up on their website in fall and I ordered one before Christmas. Its since then been my most worn watch I believe.
It feels premium and is very pretty. Just be wary to not wind it fully since you will not be able to screw down the crown properly. I ofc did that when I wound it first time.
In my experience about 17 winds are good to keep it going so you can wind it the next day.
Ive had it with me to swim in the Atlantic without issue and its a total strap monster 👍🏻😎
This is a manual wind Aeschbach, they are being sold by MWC 👍🏻 Aeschbach used to make watches for the Germans during ww2 but their factory got destroyed. But I guess MWC bought the rights to the name to revive the brand. They have a couple of automatics with plexiglass, and a couple of manual winds with sapphire and screw down crown.
