Just got one new (open box) for half price - 300m water resistance, well-finished Swiss automatic, sapphire, and as you say, it goes from the office to the pool with perfect aplomb. Even the strap manages to be dressy-looking while being water-ready. What's not to like? 😊 My lust for a Legend Diver has been tamped down, at least for now. The date window doesn't bug me at all - I think they're easier to read when rotated down from the 3 position. It's an oddity that I find more charming than anything else. (Plus there's something to be said for the exotic factor: I know it's going to be the only one in the room.) Very happy to have this one - it's going to get a _lot_ of wrist time.

I dont mind the assymetry of the crowns. If its on the left wrist, the staggering sets them less in position to poke your hand. The hands dont sufficiently contrast with the dial and are out of proportion with it as you said. Other than that its very beautiful. I really, REALLY like the band too. Perfect size and framing for the watch itself.

Another great review. I actually own this watch. I too was concerned about those moans and niggles before I bought the watch, but they don't bother me at all, to be truthful. I think the date location was their attempt to visually tie it to the lower crown. The trapezoidal shape of the window was probably described by lines from the center to the crown ends. The asymmetrical location of the crowns...I honestly didn't notice this until you mentioned it! My 2 moans and niggles are 1. The crown is difficult to operate, and 2. the marks on the rotating bezel don't really line up to the dial. Otherwise, it's a beautiful watch. Especially in daylight.

Jody, I love your channel and I really respect your opinion on all things watch and tee shirt related. But I although I hate to beg, I must beg to differ with this particular review. I was debating between the Longines and Alpina when looking for a compressor style diver. Once I saw them in person there was no comparison and I ultimately chose the Alpina. I continue to be chuffed to bits with my purchase and I think the trapezoidal date window gives this watch it’s own unique character. Keep up the good work, maintain your high standards of social distancing and stay safe!

Spot on analysis. Complete lack of symmetry.

I think this is an absolutely beautiful watch- YES... date window is off... but interesting!... for ME, if not a proper Dive look, THIS has enough looks for me- really stunning. HATE the 21 mm though... that's a bigger issue for me. Cheers,

I know its subjective but I love this watch. Once I find an affordable one on the used market I'm going to be on it.....?

Could've been a contender ..... but they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. When it comes to aesthetic preferences ~ symmetry IS everything ~

Well , if you want more symmetry with any watch, Just take the hands off.

Hello!! I’m a big fan of your reviews and I usually learn something new from almost every video. But for this review I’ve got to disagree with each of your criticisms. Especially the date window. I think these are exactly the details that distinguish this watch and make me love it. If you want conservative classic symmetry, you have tens of thousands of watches to choose from. I say we embrace those who dare to be different and pull it off so well.

Big rocks, like uneven shaped stones are put into ladscape parks, museums, to make us realize the beauty in other things, easier.

I've never heard anyone reference the Oris 65 as much as in this video, and that includes videos made of the Oris 65.

I've been looking to buy one for my Christmas present , position of the date questionable , but got over it in a short minute , but no lume on the hour markers is a deal breaker .

It took me a good 300mS to spot the suspect date window. The most bizarre "implementation" I've ever seen. A right Horlicks, mate! Nice strap though with a bit of a Planet Ocean vibe. Keep the strap, bin the watch.
