Overall, a great watch for the money. The whole 1769/New Zealand thing seems a bit odd to be honest and the text under the 1769 on the dial is a bit pointless given how small it is. That said, it's a nice watch and well made. The blue/black dial in particular is really good. Lume is just OK - I'm not a lume junkie so that's not a big issue for me although the application of lume is a little uneven sadly. Fits nicely on my average sized wrist and looks a lot more expensive than it is. Very happy ...
