I prefer the round one
By Sam Okafor, London ยท
Contrarian position, but I'll defend it: the round V2-92 is a better design than the square BR it shares a showroom with. The square case is a graphic gimmick borrowed from a cockpit instrument and it never quite becomes a watch. This one has to work as an actual object, and it does.
41 mm, 12 mm thick, a plain black dial with chunky Arabic numerals and a date. The numerals are the whole personality. They're wide and slightly blunt, like stencilled lettering on an aircraft panel, and they fill the dial so completely that the negative space is almost gone, and that bothers me. It shouts a bit for something called a vintage line.
3,500 to 3,900 dollars for a Sellita-based calibre is steep, and a Sinn or a Tudor will give you more watch for the same money. Buy this only if those particular numerals make you happy.
