Real thing (the watch not the partnership....yet... ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Question, does anyone knows why they don't make aluminum watches anymore?

I genuinely miss them from the 90's 2000's

Sure is not because aluminum is a more delicate material...

Had a couple of aluminium watches back in the day, never lasted long tho, I eat chilli pretty much every meal so guess my sweat is very acidic as they just rotted/corroded .

Only ally watch I'm aware of is a Hamilton pilot, but I avoid watches made of easily correded metals...

A real excentric watch. Three times even!

I like the off center sub dial hands

On the aluminium thing, my guess is that galvanic corrosion had something to do with it. Aluminium and stainless steel do not work well together.

Not surprised, not interested and not worth it. Donโ€™t know what kool aid or pipe they smoking over at Swatch. How they come up with these over priced happy meals designs.๐Ÿคช
