If it's not a sport watch...
If it's not a tool watch...
If it's not a pilot watch...
Then what is it?
I know [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] has strong opinions on what classifies as a "dress watch," but that is the only category this one will fit.

With the central seconds and date complication this fits sport better than it does dress.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: fifty eight watches. Geneva tribute
I'll debate.
Lack of lume + Low water resistance + polished case = more dress than sport.

50m resistance is 20m more than any dress watch needs. Also, 41mm.
I dub this a "spress" watch.

Like wearing a dress shirt and a tie with athletic shorts.

PREORDER: Kickstarter: Fifty Eight Watches - Geneva Tribute Collection
Fifty Eight Watches out of London have launched their first Kickstarter for their debut collection, the Geneva Tribute automatic.
Personally, I find them too big, too pricey, and burdened with a date complication. A no-date or color matched date wheel would've been better.
Early Bird pricing is around $640
Kickstarter pricing is around $682
Regular price will be about $986
Estimated delivery is September 2021
The name Fifty Eight was chosen to represent the company’s quest to return to the heydays of vintage watchmaking. When commissioning a watch meant a free interchange of ideas between the customers and the maker.
The Geneva Tribute is available in five colorways - Midnight Blue, Lucent White, Kokanee Salmon, Jade Black, and Rose Gold

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Fifty Eight Watches - Geneva Tribute Collection
The date looks fine on the white dial. On all the others it sticks out like a wart.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Fifty Eight Watches - Geneva Tribute Collection
More like 58% overpriced.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
