I think it's a pretty awesome 38mm chrono and it kinda reminds me of A273 but with modern case + auto movement.

The retail price would be USD 7,500 and is limited to 25 pieces. What do you guys think?

It's a nice vintage inspired piece, but to my mind compared to their other offerings it's a little dull. However, I think I'd like to see a few more pictures of the dial from different angles before passing final judgment.

This is a pretty good re-interpretation of the A273, and I actually like this new case a bit more than the A273 case. 38 mm is perfect. And the choice of strap colour (and length!) is a good idea.

And they kept the blued hands 馃憤

Price-wise, $7500 seems a tad pricey though.

This new reissue hues closer to the A273 compared to the previous Heritage 146 releases, but paradoxically it just makes the hands look worse. The orginals do it much better imo, with their thin baton.

What other offerings are you talking about?

Eh, true but imo the modern case they use is better compared to the 'blocky' case of the original A273

Was under the impression that the modern case was even more blocky then the original a27x case. 馃槙

I was more referring to the shape of the originals' lug shape. I think it's just a matter of preferences 馃榿

Looks pretty well done to me. Better than the 2 register offerings. I agree w comment above about preference for 273 hands, these look a bit like needles.
