Accurist introduces automatic models

Quite the opposite.

I don't dislike the silver skeleton, just a shame they always put polished hands on skeleton's making them hard to read. (Seiko movement so will be reliable tho)

Rest look pretty inoffensive but bit generic and bland.

These automatics are boring and uninspiring, not for me. Shame, the brand used to have such a good reputation in the 70's and 80's.

I know they will be taking some flak over the choice of movement for their Diver, which is the only automatic with some originality in the design. Using a Miyota 8215 will not earn them any points in the community. Further, they kept the exact same movement in the limited edition Diver.

The other two models are fine, if uninspired and readily available on AliExpress for much less. I like the idea of releasing automatic watches after years of only quartz, and hope it works as well for Accurist as it did for Timex, but this is an inauspicious start, at least in my opinion.
