OnThe watch is sized at 40mm with a lug to lug of 47mm. It also comes with a 20mm lug width (great for choosing straps!)and a bracelet that tapers down to 16mm at its thinnest.

On my 6 inch wrist, it wears just about right, and boy it looks good. For someone who experienced a number of Subs, I can confirm that this wears and feels exactly like the now discontinued 114060 (minus some refinements and snobbery).

It is also the type of watch that goes sweet with either casual jeans and T-shirt or more formal attire, so a great everyday watch. I have taken it to the office, the parks, and also the pubs, a true daily companion that can support you in all situations.

The Price

So with a good Swiss movement and all the blows and whistles, how much does it cost?

£250. That’s how much it cost to get a watch with great design (although no kudos to Cronos), all the specs you can think of, and a Swiss movement. If you are willing to give the Chinese movement a try (again, no prejudice) the price goes down even further to as low as £170.

Jaw-dropping, right? Too good to be true?

The Negatives

So, there are a few compromises.

First of all, although the sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflection, it is still quite reflective. It also attracts fingerprints like crazy and I often need to clean it multiple times a day to keep it bright.

Then there’s the clasp it comes with — let’s just say it’s not the best. The clicks felt really silent when you are putting on the watch which makes feel uneasy about whether the watch is secured and there are some sharp edges. That said, this can be easily fixed by purchasing a new bracelet or putting the watch on a strap.

Finally, there’s a slight issue with the date window — it’s ever so slightly not aligned with the cyclops — it does not bother me but maybe a challenge for some.
