From Pequignet -
This is the Royale Saphir in Amber Yellow. I had the opportunity to check this out in person during my visit last month to Pequignet HQ in Morteau, France. Pequignet is quite well known for the Royale Saphir collection, and their white dial versions are what most people think of when they think of Pequignet. But me? Well, let's just say that I am not a vanilla kinda' guy (more pistachio, in fact), and I don't think I'm a sheep ; )
Naaaaaaaaah!
The Royale Saphir comes in a stainless steel case, with sapphire crystals front and back. The movement is the eponymous Calibre Royal. The complications include large date, day, power reserve, and moon phase indication.
The date is available in both French, and English.
Now I realize that yellow (or even "amber yellow") might not be your jam, but this one really speaks to me. My first serious mechanical watch was one of the Omega Speedmaster Schumacher models in yellow. I still miss that watch! Maybe it's just unfulfilled fantasies about winning the Tour de France? But for whatever reason, this watch is calling out to me.
The case measures 42 mm in diameter 12.3 mm in thickness, and is water resistant to 5 ATM. So don't go all "Aquaman" while wearing it!
