Practical, versatile and good looking watch at a great price
Clean, classic Panerai style face, very legible including day and date complications, making it a good tool watch while smart enough when needed.
Not normally mentioned in its description but has hacking seconds and good if not particularly long lasting lume.
Green colouring confined to the strap, luminous hands and face markings plus perhaps a tint to the matt black face.
Big enough for a pilot watch but wears compactly on the wrist. Surprisingly light for a chunky stainless steel case and perhaps a shade thinner than the equivalent automatic/mechanical watch.
Given the Eco–Drive movements' reputation for a long and accurate life I am expecting many years use. In context it replaces an almost identical automatic watch which cost much more but became uneconomic to maintain after just five years.
Supplied strap unexpectedly attractive and high quality, although substitutions change it's look entirely.
Only niggle – second hand is a bit punny in poor light before the lume kicks in, for some reason an almost universal feature with watches with this style of face in particular and to a lesser extent military style watches in general.
