This one might be a just a bit under the radar, but that doesn't mean it should be!

Since their founding in 2016, DONE has been steadily establishing their design philosophy - mechanical movements that take pride of place in the entire watch.

This is the Mechanica B02 Titanium. The case measures 43.8 mm in diameter, is of Grade 5 titanium. The movement is based on ETA's 6497-1. This is one of the most iconic hand-wound movements available, with the skeletonization undertaken by DONE in house.

The movement is laid bare, encased by anti reflective, scratch resistant crystals.

The Mechanica B02 is quite fairly priced at CHF 2,516.00, and is available directly from DONE.

Utilizing the ETA 6497 hand-wound movement, and a robust 44 mm in diameter, this is a fantastic watch and an even better value!
