More dial, more presence

If the three-hand Aikon is the sensible choice, the chronograph is the one with something to say. Three sub-dials, a day-date window and a blue clous de Paris dial on the 42 mm steel case.
The ML112 automatic gives 60 hours, which is better than many chronographs at this price. Water resistance is 100 m. The quick-change bracelet is as before, and the claws on the bezel do the rest.
It is busy, though. Between the registers, the day-date and the textured dial, the face can feel crowded, and 14 mm of height makes it a watch for a wide cuff.
At $3,950 it's an alternative to a TAG Heuer or a Tissot chronograph with more personality. Wear it with a navy jacket and a little confidence.
