Triclops steel mechanical watches

We are currently witnessing an exciting era in the watch industry, as micro brands are revolutionizing the market by offering innovative timepieces at affordable prices. This is particularly appealing to enthusiasts who seek variety and options beyond the popular brands like Seiko, Citizen, or Swatch, without compromising quality.

One notable example is their Triclops model, which utilizes the reliable Miyota calibre 90S5 movement. This watch features three rotating arms that indicate the hours as they approach the 10:00 position, while the minutes are displayed on the dial. Despite the use of a base movement, the complexity achieved is impressive, reminiscent of high-end brands like Urwerk UR-210.

Considering its price range, the watch boasts commendable finishing touches. It incorporates sapphire crystal on both the front and back, excellent lume for visibility, and a convenient quick-change strap system. The optional stainless steel bracelet adds weight and a sense of quality to the timepiece, although it lacks micro-adjustments or half links, relying on a butterfly clasp. The smaller links make sizing adjustments relatively easy. Alternatively, there are equally good silicone or leather strap options available.

Reading the time may require some initial adjustment, but once familiarized, it becomes effortless. The legibility is clear, and the watch feels comfortable on the wrist. With a diameter of 42mm and a thickness of 13.5mm, it leans slightly towards the larger side, yet the relatively short lug-to-lug distance of around 47mm ensures a comfortable fit.
