Very interesting dial with the nontraditional day / date windows. Look forward to the real life photos and impressions.

I like it. It reminds me of UN for some reason.

Thanks Chip. I do see where you come with the UN Dual Time, but I think thats a much more sporty/chunkier watch than the Manero. I could see a UN coming back into my collection one day

I agree, they are very different, but the rounded apertures look similar. When you first see something, your first thought is "It looks like.." and that's what came to mind. Well, at least that's how my brain works lol

That is a great looking piece. I like the green too, and that's not a color I normally go for. What movement do they use?

They use the manufacture CFB A1000 movement, with the power reserve I believe the reference is A1011. Fantastic movement with 55 hour power reserve, peripheral rotor, and recently the A2000 got a COSC certificate

Beautiful. I love both colors, but by experience just not a blue dial guy. But I am loving that green dial, with accompanying green leather strap. Absence of lume, though, would be a lot better, and would also hope for a solid case back? But seeing it in real life might change my mind. However, I don't think that will ever happen as there is no local AD. at least the one we have is not a place I will ever set foot in again. After seeing your diver, it would be wonderful to see some of the models in real life.

I'm a solid caseback guy for any ETA or Sellita movement, but I love seeing a exposed manufacture movement
