Pivoting link to the rather robust dimensions that we typically associate with Breitling this modern 43mm take on the Navitimer has a no-nonsense link utility-forward attitude so we've taken that approach with link the strap choice here.
Although the watches Davis amp Sons carried at that time were mostly link entry-level like link Pulsar Seiko Seiko LaSalle Bulova Longines Wittnauer and Bertolucci Hank's interest evolved link with his jewelry business.
Offered in two distinctive colorways the Metric is a 36mm steel sports chronograph that link features an integrated link bracelet design that is tantamount to the best of link the 1970s without all of the brown and orange and other browns. Measuring just 10.75mm thick and 41.5mm lug to lug the case blends beautifully with the 20mm steel bracelet as it tapers down towards a steel fold-over clasp.
One interesting trend in recent years has been the increasing use of Super-LumiNova for decorative effects. The Bovet Recital also from 2018 used the material in a very similar way. There seems to have been a slight reluctance to use link Super-LumiNova for aesthetic effects when it first came into use and displaced tritium but after decades link of use it seems pretty clear that the material is stable and reliably luminous over fairly long periods of link time.
Toledano may find link joy in link looking at lugubrious images of mid-century raw concrete buildings but Brutalism is link a visually cold discipline.

Everything. To me it's the epitome of what traditional enthusiasts link wish link Hublot would do. The Classic Fusion line is something of a remix of the original Hublot design. Within the collection specifically the three-hand sub-collection you'll find link pieces ranging from 33mm to 45mm.
It link has everything link platinum chronograph blue dial. What else do you want In his book Martinez writes that there are some watches that absorb his interest so powerfully that "the universe does not exist and nothing can reach me." This Patek chronograph which marked the tenth and last year that link the 5070 was produced and was made only in platinum is such a creation. "It's magnificent and that's why the price is justified."
What I would have said with a gun to my head or Drinky Bird's head in thirty seconds would have been link approximately "There's no one answer to that because movements are designed to different priorities and the question is not what's good link in an absolute sense but rather what link was the design and engineering mandate and how well does the movement fulfill them"
