24-HOUR WATCH Individually numbered Limited Edition of 500 pieces Glossy polished Hard Steel case

Metropolis Verdict

Who this watch is really for

strong data

Best for

Smaller wrists or buyers who prefer compact proportions over oversized wrist presence.

Buyers who prefer grab-and-go accuracy and lower-maintenance ownership.

Skip if

You want a larger modern sports-watch footprint.
You need a swim-ready sports watch with more water-resistance headroom.
You only want a mechanical movement.

Value note: The value case is about accuracy, lower-maintenance ownership, and design execution rather than mechanical-movement romance.
