 Ernest Borel Excellent Series
 The
simple things in life can be the most rewarding. Simple things are often more
difficult to produce than complicated things. This is because there is no place to hide mistakes. If
there are 50 things to look at, none of them have to be great because they are
all competing for your attention. If there are only a few things to look at all
of them must be perfect. The Swiss have never been ones to suffer mistakes. That
is why I like Swiss watches, and in particular this watch series. Simple
perfection all the way around. There are a couple of different versions of this
watch each with its own personality and presence. The black face watch is
unassuming at 32mm wide (35mm wide with the crown) and 10mm thick (not
everybody wants a big watch). The hardened mineral crystal shows a gentlemen
all the information he really needs. Luminous hands count the minutes and hours
(the seconds hand does not have luminous material) and the date is seen through
a magnified window at the 3 O'clock position. There are Arabic numerals at 12,6,
and 9 O'clock with luminous bar makers showing the rest of the way. The 25
jewel Swiss movement can survive depths up to 50 meters thanks to the
screw down case back and crown. The white faced version is a
little different. First of all its bigger being 36mm wide (38mm wide with
the crown) and 10mm thick. The white face puts that extra space to good use by incorporating
a day display that the black face does not have. The minute and hour
hands have luminous markings same as on the black face watch. Stick markers with
luminous dots take the place of any numbers on the white face watch. Otherwise
the watches are the same, perfect in their simple way. Simply, an easy
watch to love and a hard watch to fault.
