The 38.5mm case should work on most wrist sizes and even though the case is brushed, when you pair it with a leather strap, it can be dressed up quite well. I think perhaps it is due to the nature of pilot watches, I find them to be able to dress up rather easy.
Sinn uses a top grade SW500 movement, which is equivalent to the robust ETA7750, you can see the blued screws and the perlage from the see thru case back! On the brushed bracelet from Sinn, this watch is currently $2,490 making this a solid runner up choice to the Black Bay.
Interesting list Jeff! Agreed that the BB36 is really tough to beat in this category, arguably the most difficult to make a top three from.
Totally agree! And you’re right about the Aquis and limitations on the strap. Strong brand love from Oris, though!
That Sinn is so perfectly executed, I really should get a Sinn added to the collection one of these days
Is there anything in this range that exists with in-house movement and falls in the GADA category? Asking for a friend
