When it comes to watches, what do you think of? Is it the exquisite appearance or the comfortable wearing feeling? Today we are going to talk about two classic watch straps – leather and stainless steel. They each have their own merits and will definitely give you more inspiration and choices when choosing a watch! Moreover, in recent days, there has been a replica watch named after the Beatles. It is definitely worth a look. Follow me to learn more!

Stainless steel bracelets and leather straps have their own advantages

When choosing a watch, the strap is a very important factor, which directly affects the comfort of wearing and the beauty of the watch. There are two main types of watch straps on the market, one is leather strap and the other is stainless steel strap.

Leather straps give people a gentler and more elegant feel and are suitable for various occasions, especially business occasions. They look more stylish when paired with suits. The durability of leather watch straps is relatively poor, cracks may occur if worn for a long time, and they are not easy to clean.

The stainless steel bracelet looks more resolute and cold, suitable for consumers with a flamboyant personality. Its advantage is that it is very durable, is not prone to damage after being worn for a long time, and is also very convenient to clean. The stainless steel bracelet may cause some irritation to the skin when worn, making it uncomfortable to wear for a long time.

Of course, consumers can choose according to their own preferences and needs. If they don’t like to change the strap, they can also directly buy a watch with a stainless steel bracelet. If they feel that a stainless steel bracelet does not suit their style, then they can choose a watch with a leather strap.

“Fab Four” prototype watch reappears

The watch we are going to introduce today is a replica of the “Fab Four” prototype watch. It is based on the chronograph built for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the 1970s. We all know that “Fab Four” refers to The Beatles, and the reason why this watch is called this name is because it was originally built for four pilots.

From the appearance point of view, the new blue dial watch is more modern than the black dial model. It not only improves the readability in low light environments, but the blue dial design is both beautiful and well demonstrates the brand’s balance between function and fashion.

The case shape of the new watch is almost identical to the original, except that the diameter is one millimeter larger. The purpose of this must be to better accommodate the movement. In terms of movement, the new model is equipped with H51Si movement. This movement has been improved on the basis of the original H51 movement. It not only improves the anti-magnetic performance of the movement, but also increases the power reserve to 60 hours. This is already a very good result among mechanical watches.

Classic layout and modern craftsmanship

This newly launched watch has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 14.3 mm. The stainless steel case is brushed, giving it a low-key luxury feel. The most important thing is that this watch has 100 meters of waterproof performance, which is completely sufficient for daily wear.

The new watch still inherits the positions of the original 30-minute counter and small seconds counter, but has moved them to the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, which is more in line with modern people’s aesthetic habits. The Arabic numerals at 12 o’clock on the original work have been replaced by Roman numerals, making it more classic and attractive.

The most attractive part is the blue dial decorated with sunray pattern, with time scales and hands coated with white X1-level SuperLumiNova fluorescent material, which can clearly identify the time even in low-light environments.

According to official information, this watch is divided into two versions, one with a brown leather strap, priced at 1,995 Swiss francs; the other with a stainless steel mesh bracelet, priced at 2,075 Swiss francs. Although the price is not cheap, I believe many consumers are still willing to buy such a watch that combines tradition and modernity, classic and fashion.

Conclusion

The choice of a watch is not only about appearance, but also about your own usage habits and style preferences. The elegance of leather or the toughness of stainless steel, which one is more suitable for you? And that “Fab Four” watch, do you think it’s worth buying?
