Sure I enjoyed the halftime ceremony where the anniversary team was announced. It was link great to see the game's legends and some current link stars assembled together link in one place and the blue blazers with the 75th diamond logo patch were a classy touch.

The Heuer Caliber 02 is the real standout of link the Monza. It's a COSC-certified flyback chronograph something we've only seen in the vintage-inspired Autavia released last year.
