I've got the blue version of this in steel on Botta's excellent Milanese strap. Stunning design, clean and simple. And it does alter your perspective of time a bit. Legibility as you say is a bit difficult in the beginning but I've found you rather quickly adapt to this. I've owned my Botta for more than 3 years now and reading it is no problem at all, even after not wearing it for some time. The two downsides I've found in practice are 1) setting the time: the Ronda movement inside is designed for a two-hand watch, so if you set the Botta its single hand needs to "catch up", which takes 6 - 8 minutes. So you need to set the time 6 - 8 minutes ahead of the actual time. That in itself wouldn't be a problem, but the time to catch up is not always the same, so setting the watch right is a bit of a challenge. Of course, this watch is all about not being 100% on time to the minute, but still you don't want it to wander too far off. 2) You need a special tool to open it which means that to change the battery you need to ship it back to Botta, which is a bit of a hassle and more expensive than having it done by a local watchmaker. That being said, when you send the watch back it is checked, overhauled if necessary and cleaned and I must say Botta's service is top rate. In all I'm still very happy with this watch and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants something a bit out of the ordinary. And for those who dislike quartz there is also a mechanical version. Great watch. I'm not surprised you're wearing it everyday.
THAT is great insight. Happy that you commented with your experience of 3 years with your Botta. I greatly appreciate your insight and thanks for sharing your experience with us 😌🙏🏻 I absolutely loved the time I had with it (I had to return it) and I hope to review more of them in the future. Thanks for watching.
Почему вообще у нас стандарт циферблата 12 часов если в сутках их 24? Выглядит как заговор с целью лишить людей объективного взгляда на своё время. Купил себе такие зелёные. Созерцание такого циферблата влияет на планирование, я уже меньше берусь за дела от которых нет пользы так как лучше осознаю сколько времени у меня есть в дне.
Super clean!
I love the design!
Thank you! Me too! 😄👍🏼
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Thanks
My pleasure!
I have a few other BOTTA watches in the “review queue”. I hope you stay tuned 🙂

You are absolutely right; time should be seen differently to help us enjoy every moment.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
Yes, bit please, not the quartz version...
