Thanks to @TheJohnP for posting this deal from Werenbach Watches. It absolutely scratches the itch I had for a unique dial.
I didn't see many reviews on this watch but given the low sale price and the solid reviews on their other higher price offerings I pulled the trigger.
In the flesh, the watch really feels higher quality than the $170ish sale price (normally just north of $300). The case is one solid piece of milled metal with a sapphire crystal fitted to it. This give the watch some heft and a solid feel to it.
It is quartz but does not have any audible "tick" to it, even when holding it right to my ear.
The dial and hand set are well done in my opinion with just a hint of orange to it.
The included black double pass nato is fine, but I knew that I wanted to try this on an orange strap so I ordered a Barton elite silicone at the same time. To me the orange band really pops and takes the overall look to another level.
Again, this won't be everyone's cup of tea but it gave me exactly what I was looking for and provides some fun to my otherwise boring 13 watch collection.
Also, it has a real piece of a rocket used to transport astronauts to the ISS built into the dial (silver patch just above 6:00). Kind of cool having something that made it to space on my wrist.
