As someone who was complaining about the 24hr dial, this is a much better movement! I like the rotating bezel too. Personally, I like the classic black dial version better, but the brown dial is interesting. Thanks for the review!

yeah, I;m quite satisfied with this movement. Would love it if they stuck with this one.

I have my eyes on this one. Design is perfect, size is all right and the movement choice is excellent without the annoying 24-hour sub-dial and with the elegant smooth sweep. Lumed areas and the bezel is perfect: useful to mark something while you're counting the minutes, but discreet and dressy. With the running sub-dial you can theoretically track three things at the same time. The ghost date surprised me a little, i wonder if they could offer a variant with a date window to fill up the empty space in the 6 section - but I won't complain at that. Baltany did a marvelous job reviving a traditional military style with exceptional specifications and low price.

Thanks for the review. Agree with you that the black dial would be the one I would go for. Love running seconds rather than 24hr subdial

Great review. Yeah. The black dial version of this will be the choice. Maybe people will start using this Miyota over the Seiko movement more. Thanks!

I'm all for the swap to the Miyota. I actually prefer it over the seiko

About your videos, I like that you usually try different straps on the watch you are reviewing. To your audience it gives a sense on how it wears. Keep doing that please! Well done :)

This is based on the Type 20 French Air Force design, which itself seems to have been derived from the older German spec which is what the Hanhart and Tutima were made for.

@@SheshankReddyS I think this is supposed to most closely represent the Breguet Type 20, but it does share a few of the design cues of the Vixa Type 20 which was assembled from parts from the Hanhart factory. Still, especially the brown dial, I think it is safe to say, homages the Breguet.

Excellent choice of movement, prefer it 100 times more than the vk which looks dead behind the eyes when only having two horizontal sub registers and a useless 24hr indicator. I've sold all of my vk powered watches, and don't really understand why they are held in such high regard.

I think you could use the rotating Bezel with the hours hand to time periods longer than 60 minutes.

I don’t understand people’s desire for thinner and thinner watches. Personally, as long as is not 15mm+ is fine. Obviously depending on the style of watch I am wearing, dress watches being thinner so they fit under the cuff. But pilots, divers, chronos are perfectly okay with some girth to them.

It's a pity that the version with a green dial has a VK64 mechanism..

Great review man! Congrats on making the first one of this watch. Would love to pick one up in the upcoming sale but for some reason Baltany ships to certain EU countries but not others (I'm based in Spain). Can't think of a reason based on import laws or logistics and I suspect it's more a case of human error on their AliEx page. Any chance this could be brought to their attention? Can't find any contact details on said page
