Italian style speaks with the hands, and what better way to make your statement than to wave a cool watch about. I grabbed this Officina Del Tempo for a style look over and it makes the grade. Usually I’m not a fan of integrated leather straps, but this piece really pulls it off well. The hands are snubbed and stout which creates for an interesting contrast to the gloss of the piece. Swiss quartz chronograph movement, but be careful because they sneak the old Miyota in on some. A solid suit piece and under a $1,000 for almost all models! US distribution of this line has been cleaned up, so their future looks bright. This brand will take a large rebound this year. The big hitters have their eyes out for it again, mark my words.
