deals4uwatches.com the Ancon Magnus in bronze is a fun watch from a brand anyone interested in sub $1,000 mechanical watches should know about. I recall the first conversation I had while wearing the watch "out in the wild." I was at a party here in Los Angeles and ended up speaking with someone who, like me, was a reporter of sorts. Though unlike me, this individual was strictly in the fashion industry, and while I am technically in the fashion industry... I will deny it when possible.So the topic of watches with this particular person inevitably arose during my attempt to relate. "So, tell me about the watch you are wearing." The Ancon Magnus in bronze just happened to be on my wrist. I proceeded to explain the value-nature of the brand, and that the dial was inspired by the original Rolex Milgauss, followed by the popularity of bronze as a case material. non-e of that really seemed to go anywhere and I realized that this person may have been a bit too deeply entrenched in the less intellectual elements of fashion writing. Nevertheless, I seemed to inspire a spark of light because what came to mind in this fashion writer's thoughts was, "now this is a great example of a fashion watch.

luxurywatchstock.com We went on to talk about the pros and cons of bronze cases and that this particular bronze was an alloy of bronze and aluminum to make it a bit harder and better for the skin. He thought it was really interesting how bronze developed a patina, and of course that this element was super fashionable. It got me thinking, the Ancon Magnus really is a fashion watch, and perhaps that isn't a bad thing. In a sense, the design isn't meant to be wholly original (as most fashion isn't), but rather a curated assortment of bits and pieces put together in a novel manner.I don't think that Rolex would have ever imagined their original Milgauss dial in a 45mm wide bronze case. And I don't think that most large sport watch makers would have thought to take inspiration from that particular Rolex. To be fair, Ancon is inspired by other vintage Rolex and Panerai designs in some of their other timepieces, but I felt that the Magnus was particularly nice - and for what the watch is trying to be, it is.Ancon offers the Magnus in three different dial colors, each with the bronze case. There is the Magnus reference 1943-AGC-4 / MAG001 in black, the 1943-AGC-4 / MAG002 in maroonish brown, and the 1943-AGC-4 / MAG003 in green. Each is pretty nice actually and the collection feels fun in its overall curation. Having said that, I feel that this black dial MAG001 model is the most versatile - though it was hard not going with the green MAG003 model.

He knew little of a watch snob's disdain for "fashion watches," and that, for better or worse, the term is often used in a rather derogatory nature to describe timepieces that the masses consume to the chagrin of all that know about "real watches." Perhaps I was defining the fashion watch wrong."I don't know about watches, but I do know about leather, and stitching, and color matching." I nodded in understanding. "This company is taking a lot of elements here and mixing them up in a really satisfying way. It takes a lot of work to select this color of leather and ensure that it distresses in the right way. I wonder why they chose to go with a contrast stitching, but I bet it matches those on the jeans they envision most people wearing with a watch like this will have." That got my attention.As a sports watch, the Ancon Magnus fares pretty well. The chunky case is antimagnetic, as well as water resistant to 200 meters. Around the dial is a diver's style rotating timing bezel that certainly enhances the look. Despite the bulky nature of the 15.8mm thick case, it wears comfortably and looks pretty cool on the wrist. I suppose it should, being a "fashion watch."Attached to the Ancon Magnus is a thick Panerai-style leather strap with a matching Panerai-style buckle. If you like vintage-style leather, then you'll like the strap a lot. It distresses nicely and offers a cool factor to go with the watch. I think what I most like about the Ancon watch collection is that they are proud to be big in size but cognizant of wanting to be simple in character.

Richard Mille Watches Replica Ancon even plays with the fashion watch concept with the text on the dial. A line of words simply says "Lightning Bolt Second Hand," which is meant to be more humorous than serious. Of course, this hand is one of the key Milgauss watch design features that still exists today on Rolex's modern Milgauss timepieces. Four of the hour markers on the dial are applied and polished, while the rest of the dial is matte printed. Legibility is pretty good despite the polished hands. There is lume on the dial, but not enough in the hands to be worth mentioning really.You can see a small date window between 4 and 5 o'clock on the dial. It is good to see that at this price point Ancon took the extra step to ensure that they use a black date disc versus a white one. It is also good that the date window does not disrupt the hour markers. The crystal over the dial is mineral, and I am only saying that because the Ancon website is entirely silent as to the crystal material. If it was sapphire they would have mentioned it. For the price that isn't a big deal, and because the crystal is flat, light reflectivity isn't that big of an issue.Inside the Ancon Magnus watches are Japanese Miyota mechanical caliber 8125 automatic movements. I would have preferred Miyota 9015, but I won't complain. So at the end of the day, the fashion writer was correct. The Ancon Magnus is a fashion watch, but in ways I didn't expect. I think people need to stop using the term "fashion watch" as much as they do, especially because most alleged fashion watches simply aren't that fashionable. The Ancon Magnus is, and for those who want a simple and fun mechanical watch in bronze inspired by great vintage sport models, these make for a pretty decent choice.
