The movement was first released in 2021 in the
link predecessor to this watch another Startimer Pilot with the same case shape but a very retro "'50s" look with a white dial and red accents. Honestly, if I even heard about the watch when it first came out I
link probably overlooked it because of the
link candy cane-esque dial color. Which is a shame. I'm sure I would have at the very least appreciated bumper movement if I had given it a second look.
