Aquamarine 40
I received my Aquamarine 40 a week ago (white dial, blue strap), and am really thrilled by it. I chose to purchase this watch for several reasons, i.e. (1) I have a small wrist (17 cm), so I needed a watch that was not too big (2) I wanted a watch that looked both elegant enough for a business meeting, and bold enough for regular settings (3) I wanted a watch that was mechanical and accurate (4) I wanted a water-proof watch for e.g. swimming In all these categories, the Aquamarine 40 delivered. Every time I look at my wrist, I am amazed how nice and strong it looks. Also, the accuracy is quite good, i.e. it gains only 8 seconds per day which is consistent with the L42 automatic movement. As stated on the Panzera website, this movement is equivalent to the ETA 2824-2, and a nice article about this movement can be found at the-history-of-the-eta-2824-the-mundane-calibre-that-shaped-the-industry/ on monochrome-watches website Finally, Panzera's customer service was responsive and really pleasant (I contacted them to inquire about the status of my order, and about some details on this model). On a side note, the back of the watch contains the serial number, which is unique for every single Aquamarine 40 that was sold. How nice! It also told me that there are only a limited number produced at this moment! If I were pressed to offer critical comments, I would say that the hand showing the seconds has a yellow color which is not always readily visible with the white dial background (choosing a different color for this hand, e.g. red, would been better in my opinion). You can see infer this from the pictures shown on the Panzera website Overall, very happy with this purchase!
