HZ.03 Blue Marble - White

This is my first microbrand, and a somewhat unbelievable intersection of my current wishes: unusual combination of great materials (grade 5 Ti + enamel), dressy time-only + small seconds format, and a discrete, tasteful space theme. The movement is a practical choice that I can totally get behind. I also appreciate the R&D and effort involved in keeping this fantastic package truly affordable, which was probably no small feat. Even if this watch doesn't push all your buttons at once (as it did for me), you'll love the fit and finish, the perfect size, the wonderful lightness and the understated elegance. Get these while you can.

A very good offering from an up and coming microbrand. The HZ.03 is competitively priced offering a classic, timeless style with modern design aesthetics. It's very conservative in appearance while still giving off a hint of playfulness and a splash of colour with the included rotation of the second hand "planet earth" complication. The leather strap is good quality, supple and forms well to the wrist. Thanks to the titanium case it's lightweight enough to forget the watch is on your wrist. This is a watch I recommend everyone add to their collection.
