Hello Chris! Thank you so much for this amazing review! Just a couple of comments, this watch has a hard coating of HV 800 which should keep case and bracelet in very good condition (both PRX and CW don’t have) finally, the first Mondial edition was launched in 2021 almost at the same time than the PRX (by chance) and a lot earlier than the CW 😉 thank you once again and very glad you loved it!
I have the silver steel dial version, and it looks and feels amazing! In my opinion it is the best looking integrated bracelet watch available, regardless of price point. Sergio is also a really nice guy. I think the PRX looks ok at best, I never did get on board the hype train, as having pre ordered the mk1 DRZ04, the prx never really inspired me. CW are just more expensive and late to the party, so whatever. Please Sergio release a DRZ04 with the burnt orange sunburst dial 🙏
Perfect timing for this review as I have actually been considering this watch! The CW Twelve is a nice watch, but this Direnzo looks great! (I have never been a PRX fan at all.)
I have the exact colourway and love it.For me its the best affordable integrated bracelet watch,I like the Twelve but unfortunately the price is on the premium side.
This watch is nice, but, I dont find the dial as visually appealing as a lot of Direnzo's other offerings. I also dont find it as striking as either the PRX or 12. The additional clasp and the fact that I already have other p80 watches could convince me to pick this over the PRX, but, not the 12.
Enjoyed the review. I concur on most every point. I have this in white and the natural meteorite and feel like they wear like a 39mm or so rather than like or >40...IMHO. I use the butterfly & enjoy these on wrist.
