The Arctura kinetic (B). Interesting to look at and sleek.

If you want the more traditional look, I'd go for the Titanium chrono. It looks kinda similar in dial layout to the Omega Speedmaster.

That said the Arctura kinetic is more of an unusual design and not a homage to the past like the titanium chrono. To my eye the Arctura case looks a bit clunky and the dial looks very "busy", though. Then again I used to collect vintage miltary watches mainly for the easy to read uncluttered look(they've sadly become mad money now ), but that's just me. I've also heard that the kinetic movements have longevity issues. They can be a bit delicate according to some reports.

bedlam, I like the spring drive idea. V cool mix of old and new. Nice dials too

defo B...more stylish, more unique

Just a thought. I notice the fashion seems to be that men tend to go for bracelets rather than leather straps(excepting the huge wristband types). It's amazing the change in the look of a watch when you put a strap on it. Might be a thought if it's gonna be worn with a suit.

It adds a touch of elegance, that a bracelet doesn't generally have IMHO. Looks good especially on the chronograph type of watch, where it's not expected. The really expensive makes tend to come with straps(other than Rolex, which are a bit over-rated and tacky IMHO).

Definitely B, the Arctura kinetic, for me. Far more stylish watch. The other one is too busy with too much going on in the face.

B, a very slick looking piece of equipment indeed.

Cyrus

Too late to say go for the Arctura so. I was also going to say to go for the titanium one as I think it looks a lot nicer and it is seriously lighter. I tried both but just didn't want the weight of the steel one myself.

Cyrus

which one did you get mate?

FX Meister

The titanium one, I tried them both on in town first.

Cyrus

Model No? Or A Pic?
