Depends on what you're looking for
Written on Apr 19, 2024
I picked this up looking for a tritium quartz with a rotating bezel and fit 20mm or 22mm bracelet for everyday wear watch.
The good: My second hand lined up with the markers, which is a rarity on these trit watches. Movement is precise and doesn't bounce. Tritium and dial look great. Bezel action is fine. It's thin but wider than other marathon models, and has a solid metal feel.
The bad: Not well finished at all, with gritty crown action and rough parkarization. Not sure I trust it's 200 meter water resistant rating because the crown action is so rough. Obvious it was just assembled.
The Ugly: The lugs which are advertised at 20mm, were to thin to fit strapcode or miltat metal straight end bracelets. Leather bands will suffer damage as if they were stuffed in a 19mm. I returned the watch for this reason as well as for the money, I expected more... competitive. So if you're looking to put this on a quality metal strap, beware it probably won't fit. But if you're Canadian and willing to tinker, you gotta get it.
