Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.
PHOIBOS Eagle Ray PY065BD – Genuine Lapis Lazuli Dial Automatic
PHOIBOS Eagle Ray PY065BD – Genuine Lapis Lazuli Dial Automatic
The PHOIBOS Eagle Ray PY065BD combines the rugged capability of a serious sports watch with the natural beauty of a genuine lapis lazuli stone dial. Deep shades of blue are scattered with naturally occurring golden mineral flecks, creating a dial pattern that is completely unique to each watch. No two pieces are exactly alike.
The rich lapis lazuli is framed by a contrasting black dive-style bezel, giving the PY065BD a bold presence while keeping the design clean and highly legible. Applied luminous hour markers and generously filled hands provide excellent visibility, while the date window at 6 o'clock preserves the symmetry of the dial.
A sapphire crystal protects the natural-stone dial, while the solid stainless-steel case and bracelet give the Eagle Ray the substantial feel expected from PHOIBOS. The bracelet features a secure folding clasp and is designed for comfortable everyday wear.
Inside is a reliable self-winding automatic movement, allowing the watch to run from the natural motion of the wrist without the need for a battery.
Turn the watch over and PHOIBOS continues the ocean-inspired theme with a beautifully engraved Eagle Ray caseback, a distinctive finishing touch that gives the model its identity.
With its combination of natural stone, mechanical movement and robust construction, the PY065BD works equally well as an everyday sports watch or as something genuinely unusual for a collection.
