Very nice. I didn't see the price but I dont think the price is going to justify the watch. Unless this type of movement holds charge for months at a time while being sedentary which is significantly more than the 2 weeks, or 3 weeks of the common kinetic movements. Also, I wouldnt want to take it diving, although Tags are made for divers because if somehow water got into the movement it is game over to clean or replace this movement.

I think it's an ugly watch, but interesting concept.

Linear oscillating mass. Very interesting concept. I have trouble trusting the belt system, but Tag has always made very high quality watches at reasonable prices. They seem to level headed of a company to release a product that would be less than reliable.

I have a Seamaster and it pisses me off when it stops because I haven't worn it.
