...but it has a beautiful "vintage" aura and a metallic charm that keep growing on you day after day.
And the lume on the dots is so powerful that readability is outstanding without need for the higher contrast granted by the black dial.

Add to that the superior quality of both movements (yours and mine). That makes THE sports watch in my books.
What do you think of the combo with the green strap instead of the classic black?

I agree about the meteor grey, I recently just got the regular Bathyscaphe in the same dial, absolutely gorgeous!

This is my first watch with NATO, and I think the green strap looks fantastic with it. It's funny because when I first saw this combo, I thought the dial was a different one as it is greenish, while the same dial with a black sailcloth strap side by side ...
