Owners say
My watch winders are full of automatic chronographs and divers, so having a Swiss quartz piece with a genuine aventurine dial is a nice change of pace when I am heading out for the evening. The 43mm case on the Sahara Sunrise has crisp transitions between the diamond-dust frosted surfaces and the polished bezel edge. On my wrist the bracelet articulation is smooth, and the rose gold Arabic numerals catch the light at every angle.
The 43mm case sits flat on my wrist thanks to the angled lugs, the butterfly clasp engages securely on both sides, and the rose gold Arabic markers stand out clearly against the dark blue aventurine glass.
Took one link out of the frosted rose gold bracelet to dial in the fit for my wrist, which only took five minutes with a pin tool. The integrated bracelet look really highlights the blue aventurine dial.
Bought the Sahara Sunrise for my older brother's 30th birthday last month. He has my wrist and wanted a rose gold watch with Arabic numerals, and his face lit up as soon as he saw the starry blue dial.
Wore this out to dinner on the River Walk and the blue aventurine dial looked great under the patio lights. Only four stars because the butterfly clasp lacks half-links, making it slightly snug on my 7-inch wrist in humid weather.
I appreciate how cleanly the frosted texture is applied to the 43mm case and bracelet links without affecting the clasp tolerances. Though the outer presentation box was fairly basic, though the watch is clearly where the money went.
Appreciate the machinist's seal of approval on the case finishing, Trevor! Thanks for the feedback on the presentation box as well.
I collect mostly Swiss mechanical watches, but I wanted an Eastern Arabic numeral piece with an aventurine dial for casual evenings. The 43mm Sahara Sunrise has an integrated lug design that sits comfortably across my wrist, and the rose gold frosted finish contrasts nicely with the polished bezel bevels. The Swiss quartz caliber is dead silent and accurate. Knocking a star only because the shipping carrier delayed the box by two days.
Checked the frosted finish under my dental loupes just out of curiosity and the texture across the 43mm steel case is surprisingly consistent. The butterfly clasp snaps shut firmly and the Arabic numerals are crisp against the aventurine dial.
With a larger wrist I did not even need to remove a link from the frosted rose gold bracelet. I also tried swapping a navy leather strap onto the lugs for a more casual look, and both options pair well with the blue dial.
Awesome rose gold frosted finish and Arabic numerals. Fast shipping to Chicago.
