This looks to be an excellent design and value. Clean dial, nice size (39.5mm), domed acrylic crystal. $1400, so more affordable than most. A little busy in the middle third of the dial but those are fairly minor quibbles.

Oh, and dem lugs

Love the dial color/texture. I think they could have done without the date and made the subdials slightly larger, but otherwise it's pretty solid -- especially at that price!

 

Smaller logo or larger sub dials and I would be in love. It seems a tad off balanced to me

 

Wow, that actually looks pretty good. I think smaller bezel would tie it together better with the smaller sub-dials, and no-date would knock it out of the park.

 

The new version looks to be a reissue of the 150th anniversary Heritage model released in 2003...

...but what happened to the tachymeter scale?

I rather prefer the original such as this one in 18k with plume hands, circa 1944:
