Of course! SPGE277. It's known as the Hotaka Peaks Spring Drive GMT, as the dial is meant to be inspired by their lava rock formations.
If GS ever come out and say 'We just thought this looked really nice'... that's the one I'll buy. Lava rock formations indeed hehe

So true. Their nature connections are tenuous, at best.

Mind you, I bought the watch as it looks really nice. Look at you, keeping yourself from pleasure on grumpy principle... wink

I have fewer principles. And far less self-control.

New Sinn canvas strap on the Night Mission

I’m not usually a fan of Breitling stuff but that is really rather tasty.

Just seen a lume on that, I really fancy one. If the bezel turned, it’s about perfect!

I have tried a bunch of them on but they just don't do it for me. I do know people who hesitate to buy because they worry they will prefer the next colour or what ever.

Let’s bring it down a level.

Was too indecisive about what was coming to Italy, should be on a Barton strap. Looks like they’ve sold out. Anyway. I’m a convert. Love the squares, but these are great.

JLC Meteorite Dial Master Calendar - each dial uses a slice from meteorite meaning no two dial faces are the same.

Lovely! I love JLC, and love a meteorite dial. Sadly, I have neither thing in my watch box...

Picked this today. It's not really a dive watch. It's a dress watch, oversized, with some diver styling. But I do love it. It is actually a very elegant thing, despite its size.

As Breitling's designers move back into a period of busyness and more embellishments (the current version of this watch has seen some detailing and embellishment to the lugs), I like this version of the Superocean for it's relative simplicity.
