Express Review:  Duxot Bastia ‘Sandy Silver’ Automatic

#DX-2068-22

Duxot automatic with Chopard Alpine Eagle/Vacheron Constantin Overseas vibes.  Perfect size (40mm x 25mm integrated lug x 14mm thick).  Detailed dial looks rich.  Sporty and dressy at the same time.  Bezel screws are aligned!

Plus:  No screwdown crown.  No display back.  Brushed bracelet.  Ever-present NH35 movement.  Black outline hands aid legibility.  Sapphire crystal with AR coating.

Minus:  Integrated lugs preclude use of aftermarket straps.  No half links and butterfly clasp makes precise sizing difficult.  Redundant self-winding/automatic printing on dial (just choose one).

Sum: Not a lot of money for a sharp looking watch.  Great dial presentation.  Should wear well for most people.  Good feature set adds value.
