Great review as always Ricardo.
For what it is, it's a great watch (and I'm lumping the orange, yellow and red versions together here), BUT despite having owned a Breitling M1, and a couple of expensive(ish) Omegas in the past myself, I'm firmly in the, "I'd never (again) pay big bucks for a quartz" camp. I can certainly understand how there are people who want super accuracy (or just don't care about the internals), while also wanting a well finished high-end case, but that's just not me. For me it's all about the mechanics.
But anyway, opinions on high-end quartz aside, it's another great review!
Thank You for Your valued input Mr Driver.
The Code Yellow/Orange and Red have turned my head away from a life of mechanical watches only because I these watches fit what a quartz watch needs to be, in my opinion. Fairly outrageous designs with high quality, rugged cases, super accuracy and unique features.
Also a quartz watch is suited well as being a beater so I quite like the idea of simply being able to chuck it on at any time and have it running at the correct time, regardless of how long ago it was that I wore it, unlike the Panerai I currently use for gym/steam room/sauna, gardening, going to the tip, playing with neices/nephews duties.
