Breitling Spatiographe Montbrillant (8)Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk DateWith almost 40% of all votes going to Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Date, the preliminary round almost looked like a bloody slaughterhouse. No wonder, I guess. No single watch from a brutally defeated line-up could claim even half the self-confidence the Zeitwerk Date has in its locker. A. Lange & Sohne's first mechanical digital watch with a date function is full of innovation and if I had $100k to spend on a watch, it would be my first stop.Breitling Spatiographe MontbrillantIt looks almost symbolic. One of the most underrated Breitling watches in my eyes made it through in last position. This is truly a battle between my David and Goliath. You’d have to be crazy to bet on the Breitling Spatiographe. Well, I don't blame you if you’d never heard about this mysterious Chronograph counter that was in production for few years in the late nineties and early 2000s. The witty Spatiographe (amazing name, isn't it?) with a special Dubois-Depraz chronograph module integrated with the ETA reminds me a bit almost unattainable 765 Lucy Digital. Tough duel, but as we say, the hope dies last… March Mania: First Round Proper - Round SIX - (1) V (8) Who moves on?Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk DateBreitling Spatiographe Montbrillant Δ
