Traditional column-wheel chronograph mechanism—a feature usually reserved for high-end Swiss luxury chronographs due to its smooth pusher feel and complex manufacturing.
We talked about his three-watches and why he loves into them. From Omega Speedmaster MK40 to Seiko Solar (yes, some people called Seiko Panda). We also featured HNMD’s 7th Anniversary strap, crafted around the theme of creative freedom. It honors August, the historic month of Indonesia’s independence in 1945. Fitted onto a aviation-themed Longines, the combination enhances its distinct military character, resulting in an unmistakably commanding look.
