The movement is the Sellita SW 200, which is automatic and boasts 38 hours of power reserve.

Hours, minutes, and seconds. Nothing superfluous, only what's needed.

The price is 1,290 Euro including VAT (if I have read the release correctly). That is, unless of course, you live in the US where the distributor is also the sole retail point (what's up with that?) where the price is listed at US $1,480... the US price is curiously higher, and that's not saying anything about the 19% VAT which (curious to relate) would not be assessed here in the lower 48. So I honestly don't know why the North American distributor/(curiously only) retail location in the US and Canada is pricing at the level that they are.

With that being said, it is a beautiful flieger that definitely stands out from the the same old pilot's watches out there.
