And While We're On The Topic Of MAT

Let's go a bit further with another destro (that's left-handed to you, I don't think it's political), the Urban Club G -

This is a bit different from yesterday's pick. MAT offers a few different versions of this case size and format, including a California dial, but this one speaks to me.

The case is oriented for the left hand, or the contrarian right handed wearer (guilty, as charged).  It measures a reasonably assured 42.5 mm in diameter, and is of stainless steel. The case back is blessedly solid, not display. The crown screws down to ensure water resistance. The movement is ETA's 2824-2.

This also offers three straps inclusive in your purchase - leather, rubber and canvas.

The price is again fair - $1,860.00 incl. VAT (1550 tax excl.)

The Naval Aviation UTC

MAT is a bit of an unknown, and certainly under appreciated quantity here in North America.  MAT stands for Mer - Air - Terre, if my extremely limited French can be counted on - Sea - Air - Land.

Based in Paris, MAT's focus is on nimble production allowing the flexibility to move quickly on ideas.

The Naval Aviation UTC comes with 2 additional straps -

The price is fair, not ridiculously (and falsely) low - $2,496.00 incl. VAT. (2080 tax excl.)
