Don't know if it's already been discussed, if it has I must have missed it but just seen the new Galactic 44 model.
Unsure about that military strap but seen a picture of it on a Pilot bracelet and it looks much better.

I'm unsure about the SuperLuminova colouring and would have preferred to see the "standard" colour.
Always liked the Headwind model day display and so like this.

Probably looks better in the flesh. I agree with maz on the lume.

I've always been a fan of the Headwind as well. I'd rather have seen this model in a little smaller size but overall I like how it looks.

I really like the dial (especially the "vintage" lume), but I wasn't a fan of the new bezel when I saw one in the flesh a few weeks ago on the new Chronomat Airborne.

I like it, but would choose Headwind over it.

Like the new bezel and generally like the dial layout. Noticed they added a compass rose inside the 100ths graduations, not sure why on this model. The 11:00 and 1:00 hour markers look a little off with them missing the polished edging, and white day window may be a little too much white - would have to see in person. Other than that not bad. This is definitely a sportier version of the Headwind.

The vintage lume and military cloth strap seem to be trending this year.

Totally agree. If this dial was 41mm and no rubber on the bezel it would be a serious contender.

Thanks
