THE Situation

The situation features slender lines along with a flowing profile, with lengthy elegant lugs.

It features a thin polished bezel and bottom, and brushed lugs (bar polished shoulders) having a brushed funnel through the situation. The situation is smaller sized around the bottom, therefore it wears smaller sized compared to 41.5mm diameter.

The crown is small , simple to use with higher grip and sits perfect around the wrist. Her Dufa badge emblem engraved around the finish that is remarkably defined is bigger from it.

The push-on caseback provides the true illustration of the Wasilly Kandinsky test, using the coloured shapes within the center. They seem like engraved out after which full of paint, that is a surprisingly higher level of finish. The Dufa emblem is situated above these shapes as well as other specifics surround in an engraved funnel.

THE DIAL

Another apparent homage to Wasilly Kandinsky’s Bauhaus test can be found in the dial construction and designs - an engraved circle encompasses the retrograde day indicator, a square round the 24hr subdial as well as an angled triangular in it both.

The applied numerals at 12 and 6 have been in a sublime Bauhaus font - tall and thin. They're nice thick in construction too, displaying top quality materials.

The applied badge emblem at 4 can also be very nicely manufactured - it's also thick, in addition to being precisely and delicately detailed.

The primary minute and hour hands are pretty straight forward points having a really shallow pitch. I really like the way the lengthy minute hands stretches to the advantage from the dial, and turns lower in to the slight convex edging - another really splendid touch. The subdial hands are plain and simple points, but anything complicated is needed on the watch having a design such as this.

The German words “kehren aus zweiter” come in the advantage between 12 and a pair of, meaning “sweeping second” - talking about the movement (more about that later).

THE STRAP

The strap is blue with similar colour stitching to complement the dial. Having a lug width of 22mm it’s quite imposing and wider than you’d expect much likely because of modern influence.

The leather is soft enough although not outstanding quality for any watch costing ￡305. The strap does include quick release pins, that are usually a good addition.

The tang buckle is pleasantly shaped and is identical for those Dufas brushed flanks along with a polished top bridge using the badge emblem nicely sitting on the top.

THE MOVEMENT

The movement powering the Dufa Weimar Calendar may be the TMI VH88. Time Module are members of the Seiko Group, which movement is among their “VH Sweep Second Quarta movement Series”. The bizarre factor relating to this watch? It’s quarta movement, and contains a sweeping second hands. I’ve counted the sweep to become 4 ticks per second, so although it isn't as nice a sweep like a mechanical (usually 6 or 8), it’s still rather unusual to possess. Her sweeping charm of the mechanical, however the precision and maintenance-free “set and forget” nature of the quarta movement.

The movement includes a two year battery existence and a pair of jewels, and also the retrograde day indicator is really a enjoyable option to standard.
