My first impression was how much I liked the black and white detail of the dial but at the same time I realized the white tipped hands were a poor choice for this execution.  I have often found in my experience that the pictures don't accurately portray the contrast of the hands, many times offering more contrast in person.  But in this case the picture is accurate and properly displays the poor contrast of the white tipped hands against the white dial.  This is not an at a glance watch which ironically considering this is supposed to be a pilot style design is supposed to be at a glance.  With experience you find your eye drawn to the black of the hands to read the time.

Everything else about this watch I love!  I really mean that, it has caused me to reconsider purchases in the future because of things about this watch that I really like that in the past would not be a selling point for me or even caused me not to consider a watch.  First, typically I am not a fan of white dials and have dismissed possible purchases because of a white dial, but no more and am even now on the hunt for white dial watches.  I can't explain it but the white dial just looks good on the wrist.

Second, this is the first watch that I have ever had that has the combination canvas upper and leather lower strap.  I love this strap and will now look for watches with it and even buy some straps for my other watches.  Third, this is my first lefty and in retrospect probably shouldn't be since I am right handed and like to wear my watches close to the hand.  If you are right-handed you normally wear your watch on your left wrist which means the crown is aimed at the hand and if you like to wear your watches close to your hand the crown can often dig in but the lefty design of the watch means the crown is aimed up the arm and makes it perfect for those that like to wear their watch close to the hand.

A couple of other really nice things about this watch is the luminescence and the movement.  All the hands except the big second hand have luminescence even the sub dial hands but the real star of the show here is the Arabic numerals all glow which makes for a great night shot.  This makes a great movie watch.

The watch did not include any specific movement description but I believe it has a Seiko VD57, another great quartz chronograph movement.  What makes this particular movement desirable is the second hand.  Typically chronographs use a sub dial to display the constantly running second hand and the big second hand is the chronograph second hand.  The VD57 has a constantly running big second hand and the sub dial at the 12 position is the chronograph second hand.  Another thing about the watch is because it is a lefty the function pushers are reversed, now the start/stop is on the bottom and the reset is on the top.

45mm case size that wears and looks bigger because of the small bezel and big crown. Very comfortable and looks great on my 6 1/2 inch wrist. I have mixed feelings about this I Force, the hands are almost a deal breaker but I love everything else about the watch, so much so that it has changed my opinion about a few things in watches.  In the end I guess I would get the watch again so highly recommended with a caveat as long as you understand what you are getting with the poor contrast of the minute and hour hands.
