Drop the 'Lady' and I'm in
By Hannah Lindqvist, Stockholm ยท
Why is it called Lady? It's a 34 mm steel watch with 200 m of water resistance, a sapphire crystal and a Sellita SW200-1. That's a small sports watch. Men with small wrists could wear it. Women with big wrists could skip it. The name does nobody any favours.
Rant over, because the watch itself is great. 10 mm thick, 18 mm lugs, a steel bracelet, white dial and a display back. 200 m means I'd wear it swimming every day of the summer without thinking. 38 hours is the usual Sellita story. And it's under 2,000 dollars, built the way Sinn builds everything, without fuss.
My reservation is the design. It's plain, a bit corporate. Some people will call that understated. I call it a dentist's waiting room. I'd still buy it.
