The OP 36 in hiking boots
By Hannah Lindqvist, Stockholm ยท
Basically an Oyster Perpetual 36 with a 3-6-9 dial and a backstory about Everest in 1953.
Same 36 mm, 11 mm thick, same 70-hour 3230, 100 m. The black dial with its big lumed numerals is quicker to read on a dark trail than the OP's plain batons, and that matters to me more than the history does. The 19 mm lug width is a slightly odd size if you like changing straps.
It costs over a thousand dollars more than the OP 36. For the 3-6-9 and the name, that's a premium I'd pay, because this is the one I'd actually take into the mountains. It's not a watch for show-offs.
