A1113.5213Q Adriatica Classic Men's Watch Adriatica Classic

I really dislike small dials, especially since I have large hands. So how to order an elegant watch that will not be small, but at the same time fit under the cuffs of an elegant shirt? Especially since the occasion is not just any occasion - my own wedding :)
Adriatica turned out to be the perfect choice - very elegantly packaged and looks wonderful. Plus a strong, very durable leather strap.
I also wanted to use the watch later on a daily basis, and since it often shows up with white shirts - it will be as good as found :)

The watch arrived to me in no time. It has an elegant company packaging, in which it looks very respectable.
I was looking for a shirt accessory - I was pleasantly surprised by its height, which is only 8 mm. In addition, the watch has a very small envelope area, descending into a cone on the outside of the dial, which still allows it to be "lower" on the hand.
The watch is captivating in its simplicity - it has no byes, but this is its pure advantage, it is wonderfully suited to a "pure" white shirt. For colored shirts, the same model with blue indexes and hands would be better (it's a pity I didn't see it on offer earlier, because I might have written about a different product). For me personally, it might still be useful to have a date stamp, although in a typical shirtmaker it is of no practical importance.
The dial has ornate gouges, creating an elegant light-shadow effect that completes a good overall impression.
The natural leather strap, thin, fits nicely on the hand and gets used to its shape quite quickly. The buckle is polished with an elegant manufacturer's logo. It's a pity that the clasp is classic and not a butterfly clasp.... The strap after occasional wear begins to pull out on the clasp hole - the mentioned clasp would eliminate this effect.

The watch has 2 disadvantages regarding the seconds hand:
1 - after entering the time setting mode, the pointer, not knowing why, jumps forward 3-5 seconds and stops. After setting the desired time and pressing the crown, the seconds hand does not move. A time between 3 and 5 seconds passes (randomly) and only then does the watch continue timing. This makes it difficult to set the time accurately, which personally, as a detailer, bothers me a lot.

2 - after a close look at the work of the pointer, you can see the shortcomings of the watch's workmanship - the pointer through the small dial does not move with constant intervals. This causes a funny effect - up to about the 15th second everything is ok, then the pointer seems to decrease the spacing (for example, the indication of the 25th second is well in front of the index), then it increases again (the 39th second is indicated almost on the index of the 40th second, while the 40th second is indicated minimally behind it). Everything returns to normal around the 55th second, when the indications begin to coincide with the indexes on the small dial. Personally, for me this is unacceptable, although on the other hand this is a very budget watch and you can't expect too much from it. For this, however, the company could have done more.

To sum up - apart from the imprecise operation of the seconds hand and the trouble with precise watch setting, this is a very good model in the 400-500 PLN range. Plus for the simple and elegant design and for the height - 8 mm. Minus for the precision workmanship and the logic of the hour setting. It would also be nice to see a butterfly clasp. The overall rating is 4/5. If someone doesn't particularly go into detail, but is looking for a complement to the image of an elegantly dressed man, he will be rather satisfied.

I really don't like small shields, especially since I have big hands. So how to order an elegant watch that will not be small and will fit under the cuffs of an elegant shirt? Especially that the occasion is not just any, because your own wedding :) Adriatica turned out to be the perfect choice - very elegantly packed and looks wonderful. Plus a strong, very durable leather strap. I also wanted the watch to be used on a daily basis, and because it often shows up in white shirts - it will be as it was :)

The watch came to me in no time. It has an elegant company packaging in which it looks very noble. I was looking for an accessory for my shirt - I was pleasantly surprised by its height, which is only 8 mm. The watch also has a very small surface of the case, descending into a cone on the outside of the dial, which allows it to "lower" it on the wrist. The watch is charming in its simplicity - it has no fancy, but this is its pure advantage, it is perfect for a "clean" white shirt. For colored shirts, the same model with blue indexes and pointers would be better (it's a pity that I haven't seen it before, because maybe I would write about a different product). For me personally, I could still use a date stamp, although in a typical T-shirt it has no practical significance. The dial has a decorated groove, which creates an elegant light-shadow effect that completes the good impression of the whole. A natural leather strap, thin, fits nicely on the hand and gets used to its shape quite quickly. A polished buckle with an elegant manufacturer's logo. It's a pity that the clasp is classic, not butterfly ... After occasional wearing, the strap begins to pull out on the buttonhole - the mentioned clasp would eliminate this effect. The watch has 2 disadvantages regarding the seconds hand: 1 - after entering the time setting mode, the hand jumps 3-5 seconds ahead for some reason and stops. After setting the desired time and pressing the crown, the second hand does not move. Between 3 and 5 seconds elapses (randomly) and then the watch continues to run. This makes it difficult to precisely set the time, which for me personally, as a detail specialist, is very disturbing. 2 - after a careful look at the work of the hand, you can see some shortcomings in the workmanship of the watch - the hand through a small dial does not move at constant intervals. This has a funny effect - until about 15 seconds everything is ok, then the pointer as if decreases the intervals (e.g. the 25th second is much before the index), then it increases again (39th second is indicated almost at the 40th second index, while The 40th second is indicated slightly behind it). Everything returns to normal around 55 seconds, when the indications begin to coincide with the indices on the small dial. Personally, it is unacceptable to me, although on the other hand it is a very budget watch and you cannot expect too much from it. However, the company could have contributed more to this. To sum up - apart from imprecise operation of the second hand and problems with precise setting of the watch, it is a very good model in the range of PLN 400-500. Plus for a simple and elegant look and for the height - 8 mm. The minus for the precision of workmanship and the logic of setting the time. It would also be nice to see a butterfly clasp.
