Les plus
- Size of the 42X14.3mm case, fits confortably and has a good presence on the wrist.

Les moins
- Some may say it looks a bit too sobre.
- Crystal Hesalite is less tolerant of scratches than sapphire crystal.
- Rising price, less affordable than it used to be.
- The counters are not visible in the dark.
- Slight jump of the second hand due to the 21600 bph : not as supple as a movement with 28800 bph.
