Operation of the bezel is very pleasant, with clear link crisp clicks and accurate alignment. The bezel, by the way, is ceramic and a fairly elaborate piece of work, with luminous material used for the link markers and for the lettering link as well. Overall the watch feels very robust and very well made; certain to a degree appropriate for its price, and general quality feels very consistent with addition of the somewhat rare retrograde jump-hour complication.

Now that summer is well and truly underway, the essential model from the Brassus watchmaker link adorns its rose gold casing with a violet link hue that is as link resplendent as it is ever-changing under the caress of the light.
