I've owned this watch for several years and it hasn't missed a beat. I think the design is "inspired" by the Fortis brand pilot's watches which were enjoying a surge in popularity when this first came out which I think was about 2004-2005. The fact that it's still made and sold as new is a testament to it's quality and timeless design. It really does look like a far more expensive watch than it actually is. Accuracy is great, mine gains only a couple of seconds per month compared to my atomic clock. I have friends and family in the UK so it's good to have the second timezone so I don't call them at 3:30 am by accident. I don't use the slide rule because I'm not that bright in the math department but I'm sure it's great for people who are.

I own several watches from lowly (but great) Casio Divers up to an expensive Breitling Chronomat but to be honest, this is the only watch you'll ever need. 200m water resistance means you can pretty much set it and forget it. The Eco-drive rechargeable battery has a purported 10 year life (and is replaceable) but I have Eco-drive owning friends that have been running theirs for much longer.

I love this watch. It's my go to favorite, so much so that I also bought one in black. The black ones a very hard to find now so I take really good care of that. Buy one, at this price it would be madness not to and one day they'll all be gone.
