Yes, all the parts are made in China
OOI any reason you mention that?
OOI, what's wrong with mentioning that?
@Captain Hindsight: Because this watch isn't really "Swiss made" in the sense that even budget Swiss watches (like those made by Swatch) are. Wegener really are skirting the line on misleading and deceptive conduct on their marketing of these watches.
Because this watch isn't really "Swiss made"
@xyron: Just as with every other country, there is a definition what "Swiss Made" means. They are very particular about their watches.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_made
'Made in Australia" is not a simple term either . QUOTE from https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2019L01627/Explanato… :
"Made in’ – the goods must have been substantially transformed in the country claimed to be the origin and 50% of the costs of production must have been carried out in that country. Under the Trade Practices provisions, substantial transformation is defined as –
‘a fundamental change…in form or nature such that the goods existing after the change are new and different goods from those existing before the change’.
‘Made in’ includes other declarations such as ‘manufactured in’ or ‘Australian made’ for example.
Where it is not possible for a ‘Made in’ claim to be made, either due to uncertainty around the question of substantial transformation and whether 50% costs of production is met, or to adjust to seasonal changes in availability of individual ingredients, manufacturers may make a qualified claim. Common examples of a qualified claim are ‘Made in Australia from imported ingredients’ or ‘Packaged in Australia from local and imported ingredients’. "
@xyron: Pay the man, the Swiss Government are now coming down hard on them if they fail to mention the Made In China content
Note sapphire COATED mineral crystal, not true sapphire crystal.
Anyway, I like it.
Didn't need it.
Bought it.
The curse of Ozbargain.
that’s a little deceptive on the sapphire is it any good either that coating or just marketing ?
any idea
You still gain scratch resistance, so not just marketing.
Would make an awesome, non-Casio beater.
Bloody hell, too many watch nerd keywords to ignore got one, absolutely superfluous but got one
Nice find Op, don't forget 6% cashback @ Cashrewards.
I was hoping you would approve 😂
Will this swiss military watch make me a real man? I work in an office job.
Not completely, wait for a deal on a tactical vest that you can wear to meetings
Stuff it, will just buy a HiLux.
Also noticed this one -
Wenger 42mm Urban Metropolitan $77.49 Delived.
6% cashback @ Cashrewards = $72.84
this looks great! shame its mineral glass though :(
oh i never knew! Thanks for the heads-up and cool vid too
it gives that old-new aesthetic i can't explain, its kinda like modern but old-school at the same time.
yes I've struggling with words lately.
@Tohnio: The style you’re thinking of is known as “Field watch” or “Trench watch” style, they’re designed as a deliberate callback to WWI and WWII style military watches. Usually white dials with clear, easy to read arabic markers, proud lugs that leave a gap between the leather band and the main case, and generally little or no bezel meaning that the crystal and the case are flush and form a continuous surface across the whole face of the watch.
They have a very nice design, I feel, between the simplicity of a dress watch and the ruggedness of a diver or tool watch, they straddle that line really nicely.
getting some big Nomos Club vibes
Ordered one cheers
Don't need it, but bought..
oh man, this is perfect. I’ve been looking for a nice-looking cheap watch to hydromod, and this fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for the find, OP.
It’s just a watch. When you don’t wear watches life is good
Just like pants.
Strongly disagree. Pants play a very important role in society. without the normalcy of pants, ripping them off, stripper-style, in public spaces doesn’t have the same shock value as if you just don’t wear them at all
Military watch, but no 24hr markings?
Just like the vast majority of all analogue military style watches?
Dr Evil finger quotes: "Swiss Made"
Good deal, really tempted but I already got one from the last deal. Very impressed with the build quality for the price point.
