We love the subtle pop of blue color from the tachymeter scale, originally designed for use on a race track. The silver sunburst dial really comes to life out in the sun as does the desirable golden yellow patina to the luminous elements. The case wears incredibly well on the wrist with perfect proportions clocking in at 36mm on a comfortable 18mm stainless steel mesh bracelet. Try it on a perforated rally strap for a racing look or dress it up with a black crocodile strap.
