Fifty-one millimeters of 2009
By Rafael Ortiz, Mexico City ยท
Back when everyone wanted a dinner plate on their wrist, this was the dinner plate. A 51 mm case, 16 mm thick, with 25 mm lugs. It's 300 meters water resistant, which is more than most Swiss dive watches. Quartz, a mineral crystal that will scratch, and a lot of chrome-ish steel.
I'm not the target buyer. I'd hit it on every door frame on the aircraft. But for a surfer who wants something huge and bulletproof for 500 to 550 dollars, fine. Just don't wear it on a plane.
