Their website shows current prices. I paid $325 in Dec. 2022. As far as “disappearing on the wrist,” even at 36mm, it really doesn’t on mine, although maybe it would be different on yours at 7.75 in. The case design and those big lugs give it real presence, even with a leather strap.

Like Jim above, I’d love to know what leather strap you have on the Captains in the photos. I just bought the watch a month or so ago and would love it in that strap. Thanks.

And I have 7.75 inch wrists. It seems that fewer and fewer people in 20222 are aware of the joy of a watch that disappears on your wrist. And legibility is not compromised by the size. The most legible watch I own is a 36mm “Eichi II” by Citizen.
I very much like this watch. I can’t fault it, although I also can’t find a price in the review.
P. S. the movement is NOT “top grade”.
But it is perfectly adequate.

They’re beautiful.

I’m digging the whole aesthetic of the Captain. How do you feel this watch would wear on a small, ladies wrist?
