A skeleton you can take swimming
By Marco Bellini, Zurich ยท
200 m on a skeleton watch. That is unusual, and I spent longer than I should have thinking about the gaskets.
The case is carbon composite, light and warm on the wrist, 42 mm by 12.3 mm with 22 mm lugs on rubber. Inside, the NB08S is automatic with 70 hours, a properly modern reserve. The skeletonising is done with some thought, bridges opened up without leaving the movement looking weak.
But it is a skeleton, so legibility suffers, and on a watch made for the outdoors I want to read the hands in one glance. Here I need two.
6,300 to 6,825 USD for a young, independent Swiss brand with a carbon case and a 70-hour movement is fair. For someone active who wants something more interesting than a steel diver. If you need the time at a glance, buy the version with a dial.
