6 3/4. Rather on the smaller side but I do have flat wrists that are 58mm across the top. The P01 is 55mm so doesn't overhang.

It really is. It was designed with function as a tool watch at its core, aesthetics second. In other words, it wasn’t supposed to be pretty but was purpose built to do a job and at the time it would have been a critical tool for a Navy frogman had it gone into production.

Thanks everyone else for the compliments!

I'm def a hater but I still see the cool factor in this reference. Very functional and has a thoughtful design and execution. Not for me, but possibly a future classic due to uniqueness and (I'd assume) lack of popularity.

In the end of the day, it's a very cool pick up! Enjoy!!

Nick, who was the manager at the downtown (Gavidae) RF Moeller location until it closed on 12/31, showed me one of those when I was in there getting my DJ sized a couple of weeks ago. It’s definitely a cool watch, and he had just gotten it in, so he was pretty excited to show it off. Congrats on the nice piece!!

Honestly, I’ve never even considered purchasing a Tudor until this one was released.
