Review of the Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr
The pushers are similar to the chrono pushers on older Tag Heuer Aquagraph, and are very easy to use. The case and its features exhibit a fit and finish beyond what one would expect from a $450 watch. Of course, case quality is the pride and joy of Ocean7 founder, Mitch Feig.BraceletThe bracelet is similar to that of the previously reviewed Ocean7 LM-2. It's made of heavy brushed stainless steel (not titanium, like the LM-2), and uses screws rather than pins to keep the links together which means if you have a suitably small screwdriver, you can save yourself a trip to the jeweler to get it sized. Our G-2 came with a rubber strap, however I like the stainless steel bracelet enough that I never even considered swapping it out. The silicon would be a good way to lighten the watch a bit, however.PackagingThe packaging for the G-2 is identical to that of the LM-2 which is impressive considering the fact that the LM-2 is twice the price. It comes in a sturdy black outer box that protects the inner burl-wood style box. It's straightforward, functional, and a little nicer than expected, which tends to sum up the Ocean7 G-2 itself.SummaryThis is a very nice quartz chronograph which will make a great sport/tool watch, or even a daily wear for those looking for a prominent diver and a highly usable chrono. But note that this watch will never allow itself to be concealed beneath a cuff or a sport coat.
