I bought the bronze/steel version nearly 2 yrs ago & it's hardly ever left my wrist. I stored the leather strap straightaway & put it on an extra long generic green canvas NATO. To me, it's the perfect watch because I love the vintage field look & I didn't want secs or date or a museum case back. It can be worn for the outdoors, sports or formal situations. One aspect I didn't notice was the sunburst dial because it hardly shines, which means it doesn't interfere with reading the time. The cathedral hands, the lume & the track are just the perfect little touches that made it the easiest of decisions to buy. Buy a 2 hander, Andrew, & you won't miss that second hand.
I just purchased the same watch with a really spectacular blue dial and they added a navy blue ceramic bezel with a compass and luminous accents added to the bezel. The leather strap is a navy color that fades to a black which I find awesome as well. I guess they added a couple of new features possibly to upgrade the look. It's a keeper for me !
Fun video, thanks for posting. Looking at adding the bronze version. Can't decide if the lack of a seconds hand bothers me or if it sort of allows you the freedom to NOT worry about the exact time and how many seconds fast or slow it may run in a day. So simple, so easy to set, no date to worry about. Something sort of freeing about wearing a watch like this.
I really enjoy this video! Currently there are not a lot of videos on this watch. I took a chance and bought one new on sale for a little less than $1000 US. It did take a while to get use to not having a seconds hand as I am something of a second hand OCD type of person, always wondering why my watches are off by 5 seconds! This watch has made me appreciate the feeling of just letting it go and enjoy the hard time. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the feedback,,, it’s appreciated. I can imagine that it would almost be therapeutic to not have a second hand and not to be checking the accuracy all the time!!
I love vintage watches, I've just picked up a tag heuer formula one chronograph with the black plastic bezel, in 38mm and 18mm President bracelet. I'm a big guy but this watch has blown me away , I'm amazed I didn't get one earlier. It's a quartz , got a rattling bracelet, a pressed clasp and swing arm, everything I hate, but this watch just works for me , after wearing it, none of that matters !!! Mad ain't it ?
@@watchandrew, look at the old formula ones chronos , and you will understand why tag heuer were the top brand back in the 80s and 90s. If you like smaller watches then your going to love the wearability of these old tags . Hard to find a decent one and quite expensive, but the moment it goes on the wrist is just heaven !!!
no second hand make the dial very simple and easy to look at. And you can see the minute easy with the rail road design so you can say if its the start of the minute or half of it or in the end.
Upon checking through Montblanc’s website, i think your particular model is the one i like best. By the way, as it doesn’t have a second hand, do you have any problem checking if the watch is running while winding?
Hi Andrew have you seen the new maen hudson 38mm , it's a option to the tudor black bay 58. Priced at only 430 euros it's got brilliant specs , and lovely red/pink highlights on the hands and dial. If I was buying a new diver , this watch has to be the best buy on the planet at the moment.
Very nice looking watch, not sure I'd pay £2k for it though with a sw200 in it. Nothing against the Selitta, I recently picked up a Oris Big Crown Pointer Date with that movement in, but it was about half the price of the MB & it has 4 hands too ;-)
Fair point is that pal,,, double the hands for half the price.... that’s a bargain in my eyes!🤣 had to think for a while then,, but the 4th is that date isn’t it
@@watchandrew Yeah the fourth hand points to the date lol, it's good if you don't like date windows as it doesn't disrupt the dial. Keep up the good work with the channel! Cheers
Great review again. Loved the watch and the vibe as you mentioned. Can never decide on cathedral hands though. I fancy the longines avigation big eye as my vintage piece, 30m WR only though. 😜
I'm wearing my vintage Seiko 6139 chronograph at the moment & that doesn't have a running seconds, can make the dial seem a bit dead, but you get used to it & it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the watch
That is hilarious! The picture of the watch takes the place of the wedding picture! "It's a bit more important"! LOL The watch will never give you any lip after it gives you the time!
If you are not a watch snob and you want to have a bronze watch I suggest the Christopher Ward c60 bronze, same movement as the Montblanc, has a seconds hand and is half the price os if you don’t get on with bronze you haven’t spent a massive lump of cash.
@@watchandrew , Glad to hear it, my family gifted me the first edition of the bronze c60 and I love it. Sits on my wrist all patinated and looking like an old penny. If you do choose one I would say get the ‘raw’ version (no patina) so you can see it change over a few weeks rather than the factory pre patinated one. 👍
A major breakthrough in watches is the recent movement developed by Zenith. More accurate, less maintenance, more resistance to magnetism, shocks, ... I am excited about it and want to see it in more watches. th-cam.com/video/xWh0p9Irznw/w-d-xo.html
Well I guess this is better than those Meistersinger watches that only have one hand? You know me...always looking for the silver lining. So this one isn't for me; especially at that price. I saw one from them last year with a salmon dial on Hodinkee. It sold out in like 4 seconds. Enjoyed the episode as always but I did spend most of it looking at your wrist. Glad you are loving that Tudor. 💪🏻
I’m with you on the seconds hand. Ill tell you why. One of the things I like about automatic watches is the smooth sweep of the seconds hand. It may as well be a quartz with no seconds hand. I’ll tell you something... I’d be more inclined to buy quartz watches if they didn’t have a second hand. Avoid that tick. 😁
That’s a good point about the quartz,,, it would be exactly the same wouldn’t it! It’s so strange that’s it’s having such an adverse effect on everyone 😆
Andrew love the show, but I thought I’d throw a random question at ya . Why is it watch guys all seem to be into Swiss Army knives or multi tools all the you tube watch guys seem the same , what’s going on mate. If accuracy is your thing you should get a Casio lol 😂
Cheers mate,,, appreciate the feedback, thank you! ~ as for the knifes, I can’t speak for others but I think it’s a case of they are boys toys, they are priced easy enough to collect a few and they can be useful as well..... I don’t carry one as it’s too geeky but I have one in the house and use it quite often!
In the US it's part of the EDC (everyday carry) culture, along with sunglasses, wallets, torches & guns. I've even seen videos where people match a gun to the watch they are wearing!!
Matching guns and watches is a world away!! And I think it’s illegal to carry a knife ~ all my sunglasses have always been cheap ones as I break them, but I do have 2/3 Swiss army kinfes but I’ve got a big collection of pens which is ridiculous really,,, but I do like a nice pen 🤣
@@watchandrew Yeah I've got a pen knife somewhere but I'm not really into edc, maybe if I lived in the US lol. I did have a large collection of cheap pens at work, freebies from suppliers, but then one of my mates stole the refills out of all of them lol🤣 Ahh the days when you could go into the office........
I think it's over priced. It's not offering value. Selita movement, printed face. Be careful mate! TH-cam will stop chat if a child is in the video. Cheers.
I cant tell you how much I hate those smart watches . I would rather put a turd on a strap and bang that on my wrist than wear an apple watch Andrew 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I have one but I’ve only ever worn it for jogging - amazing handy with great features but it never feels like my other watches do,,, even my low cost quartz feeling ‘more of a watch’ - I had one when the first came out and loved it but I hadn’t fully developed into an addict

Great looking. 2 problems no second hand and no date . so bought the longines spirit in blue dial

That does sound mad,,, but if it works it works. I need to dip my toe in vintage but have never managed it

Ive started looking into Montblac watches there really nice the blue version is my favourite.
This one was really decent, I would have one in the collection for sure
no second hand make the dial very simple and easy to look at. And you can see the minute easy with the rail road design so you can say if its the start of the minute or half of it or in the end.
its a nice watch but the lack of a second hand takes some getting used to

Great vid! I love the watch but wish it was 38mm... 40mm is a tad too big...

Thanks pal,,, I don’t think I’ve ever had a watch with cathedral hands come to mention it,, yeah 30m WR always worries me as well
It's weird that the watch doesn't have a seconds hand. I find it unsettling.
Couldn’t agree more,,, strangely frustrating 😆
I'm wearing my vintage Seiko 6139 chronograph at the moment & that doesn't have a running seconds, can make the dial seem a bit dead, but you get used to it & it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the watch
I think you are right,,,, after a while it would be coming normal and you’d get used to it.... still bizarre to start with!
Check out Christopher ward. Love mine. Chronometer grade selitta Light catcher case.
I have one 👌
That is hilarious! The picture of the watch takes the place of the wedding picture! "It's a bit more important"! LOL The watch will never give you any lip after it gives you the time!
Great video mate . I really like that watch . Know what you mean about the second hand though 👍
Cheers mate.... yeah I do also but I think we are in the minority tonight 😆 the seconds hand is an issue isn’t it!!
@@watchandrew it is mate . It's a pity because everything else is done really well
Not having the seconds hand is annoying and almost frustrating to me lol
If you are not a watch snob and you want to have a bronze watch I suggest the Christopher Ward c60 bronze, same movement as the Montblanc, has a seconds hand and is half the price os if you don’t get on with bronze you haven’t spent a massive lump of cash.
That’s a good shout and I may try that, I’ve just bought the c65 Super Compressor recently and that was amazing quality

Thanks Mike,,, yeah this one definitely isn’t for everyone it seems! And the bb58 is going well and the video is out middle of next week🙌🙌🙌
yeah, I'm done with buying a watch without a seconds hand, it's because it shows the watch is actually working
Yeah it's very crazy to watch the dial doing nothing!!
That's nice, pop it on a distressed leather nato., job done.
Yeah I think it’s a nice looking watch,,, and the bronze looks great on a nato 👌

What watch will they take to Mars?. That will be a must 😉😎.
Absolutely ~ that could be the one!!! 👏👏👏
Matt Damon's already been there wearing a Hamilton ;-)
Nice looking watch but no seconds hands 😱😱😱
That’s exactly what I think....!
I think it's over priced. It's not offering value. Selita movement, printed face.
Be careful mate! TH-cam will stop chat if a child is in the video. Cheers.
Fair point on the watch and how how do you mean with the stopping chat? 😟
Sorry I meant comments.
Oh really,,,, I wasn’t aware.
hahaha an in-house movement to outsource mechanical movement for 1858 a bit pathetic
A lot of money for a faux patina two hander
It’s not gonna be for every one for sure.... but it’s really nice looking
Nope
