Available in black (above) and blue (below). This is a wonderfully understated watch at an equally wonderfully understated price - Price excl. VAT €621.84 for the self-winding model. It can also be had in a hand-winding movement for an additional €50.42 excl. VAT.

No logos, nothing superfluous.  Just hours and minutes, and the company name writ small at the bottom of the dial.

The lume used is provides the look of another age, and provides a nice touch.  But this is clearly a modern watch built for modern wrists - 40 mm of stainless steel, with a case that is made by the people that many other brands contract for their watch cases.

I love it!
