Thin, quiet, a little forgettable

By Kenji Watanabe, Osaka ยท

9 mm. That is the number I would remember the Corso for, and it is a good number for a dress watch. The 40 mm steel case slides under a cuff without complaint, and the Eco-Drive E111 means it will not die in the drawer between weddings.

The rest is competent and slightly bland. Black dial, date, steel bracelet, mineral crystal, 100 m. For 250 to 350 dollars it is fair, and I would buy it as a business watch for a colleague who prefers no fuss. It will not make your heart beat faster on a Monday morning. Some days that is a feature.
