Bought this 2nd hand this past week and it arrived yesterday. It's a small brand in Denmark? That started in Kickstarter. They have a 2nd GMT watch as week, though a quartz movement.

The Skytoucher has a polished bezel and case. Onion crown, 3-hand plus date. Grey sunburst dual, tough to see the sunburst, but it's there. I received multiple straps, shown is a tan suede with leather behind. It's a Miyota 9015 movement, so should last a while.

Bought a deployant clasp to get rid of the tang buckle.

Enjoy the couple photos.

I like the elegant lines of the watch, but I don't think the onion crown suits it. I think it would look better with a flat crown that doesn't protrude.

They wanted to go with a pilot watch style, which lends to the onion crown, I.e. IWC, but dial is more sport/dress.

I don't mind it, better in person, but would generally agree with you.

Great looking watch. I was contemplating that gray + RG one for over a week and almost pulled the trigger on it when the seller dropped it down to $265. Got introduced to Monchard and this model a few weeks ago. I like the white + RG and blue + SS variants. I do wish though that it had a '12' rather than the rectangular indice to make it consistent with the 3, 6, and 9, and more inline with the pilot style. Ultimately, it's the price (and my wife) that stops me from picking one up. My sweet spot for this one would be low to mid $300s.
