Gen only wrist shots

Really enjoying this Parmigiani Hemisperes the last few days. I tend to wear a gen on weekends and Reps all week. The watch is very interesting and has a totally independent 2nd timezone all running from one motor movement plus follower movement It is a very clever and quite unique system. The movement finish is up there with the best PP can do ( Michel Parmigiani was one of PP watchmakers for several years ) The Parmigiani company was formed in 1966 in Flurier with finance from the Sandoz company. They are 25% owned by Hermes and have a separate caliber factory who make movements for Bulgari, Hermes and among others pretty much all of the higher end Richard Mille movements.
The watch is a delight to wear. It exudes quality and the dial is to die for, even down to the small reference to "SteamPunk" by retaining the date wheel as part of the movement not part of the dial.
The Hermes Alligator strap is the most beautifully made I have ever seen .

Didn't break the bank but a solid daily wear watch I don't have to worry about

The MK Jetmaster. Very true, a solid watch, have one of these myself. I like it but my eyes sometimes have a hard time actually reading what time it is.
Picked up a Crafter Blue and a ratcheting clasp from StrapCode ( I want to preserve the Seiko Clasp). Even though I know I favor a bracelet, I really like this combo and the ability to change things up every so often.

By far my favorite Tudor. I would have this over a Daytona any day of the week, unless maybe it was a Zenith white dial 16520.
Beautiful timepiece. I have been noticing more and more that gen Omega's don't always have the date wheel centred. It kinda surprised me at first, guess it is just one of those things. Cheers,

That lume looks stunning. How old is the watch?
