·All in the eye of the beholder. IMHO it lacks any elegance. As a pastiche the design can’t deliver purpose in the same way as the original. The editione Venezia was far better.
The negative space is as important as the design.
The lugs looks to short and case to big, the proportions are dogshit compared to the original
beautiful in its own way (though it should be half the price), but the angularity of it isn’t speaking to me. It’s like someone made a dogleg Connie out of LEGOs.
The whole Seamaster range always seemed very broad and vague.
But what makes this a Seamaster and not a Constellation? Is it just for the marketing?
How hard is it to just give us a 1-to-1 Connie reproduction in steel? Is it really that hard? Someone in the archives probably has all the case machining specs in a drawer somewhere.
