Unlike the 17.01, the new 17.06 has an automatic movement, using the ubiquitous ETA 2824. However, this top grade movement has been modified to remove the date wheel and position so there is no ghost position when pulling the crown. Things get interesting here as I manually wound the watch, the action felt crisp and had a kick back similar to other manual wind watches, which is very different from standard 2824/SW200 with the grainy winding action with no feedback.
My experience could be an outlier, so I would love to hear back from other 17.06 owners when they wind their watches and let me know how it feels compared to the normal 2824 and it’s variants.
Lovely writeup Jeff! Hard to tell from the pictures here but is it more bronze or more ‘pink’ of a dial colour?
Always liked the Ming design, in particular the GMT
I would say neither? It is more a salmon color than pink or bronze.
Leads me to the question: is salmon more orange or pink? 😅😅😅
