Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 8:06PM Bund straps have had a bit of a popular resurgence for watches in the last few years. A lot of them are too large and don't look good in a variety of situations. Wilson Watch Works has resurrected the old style of bund strap with their 43mm Military Chronograph. Using a smaller and more traditional strap makes for a perfect all around watch that has timeless style.
Correction Note: The crystal is a Swiss made double domed hesalite.
Detail
Throughout the entire watch detail is seen in every component. From the intricate dial with large and small numbers, to the buttons and crown that are meticulously engineered. Such attention lends itself to a feeling of high quality and thought taken to the entire watch.
This watch has so many assembly as well as user features that make it feel even more mechanical than just the movement. Its really a cool feeling to be wearing this watch knowing everything that has going on inside and all the components to make it work.

Comfort
I spend a lot of time talking about straps. And I tend to be very picky about the way that they feel. This particular strap has a completely different feel of its own.
First of all this straps starts off stiff. This is a good thing, allowing it to mold itself to your hand over time. Also it shows that this band will hold up to the test of time.

Also the double layer bund keeps that case from touching your wrist. This is particularly comfortable because metal never comes in contact with your skin. Gone are the sticking and sharp edges that most are used to. The case piece is also smaller than most which keeps it looking slim and not bulky.
Overall
To sum up this watch in a few words, its a timeless styled piece. Close attention to detail and inspired by an original chronograph from the 1960s make this a wonderful watch that will never look outdated. Wilson Watch Works is even stocking spare parts for this watch in case you ever need to repair or replace something. You can pick one up for $499USD at their website. If you have any specific questions about the watch feel free to ask below in the comments.
Thanks to Wilson Watch Works for sending over a review watch.
