What we like

  • Domed crystal and applied indices at an entry-level price
  • Thin polished bezel gives the dial almost the full case width
  • 68 g on leather — one of the lightest automatics available
  • Champagne dial with blue hands and roman numerals, a combination almost nobody offers at the price
  • Sold alongside a black-dial sibling, TAC0000AB0, for anyone who wants the same case in a plainer register
