Just look at the trends of recent years: first, starting at the very dawn of the new millennium, there was the big watch craze, when a solid 10-15-year period of watches becoming ever larger and larger began. Then, more recently, we have been seeing vintage watch prices skyrocket to mind-bending levels, and with them, the release of, by now, innumerable vintage re-releases and vintage-inspired new-old watches from most major brands https://www.watchcloneprice.is/.
The case of the Competizione has in fact been inspired by GP
chronographs of old – particularly the Club Italia – but, since it is so
much larger and not designed to be a close tribute to anything
specific, we need not sweat little historical details but can instead
focus on enjoying this nicely balanced, perfectly round case and its
long, gracefully curved lugs.
Speaking of lugs, they really are rather long, which makes the
42-millimeter case have more presence on the wrist. Aesthetically, they
do work brilliantly, though, as they make the dial appear to be smaller,
inching it towards a more traditional look, saving it from being yet
another large, bold, sports chronograph.
