A new watch and a nice day for a walk

so off for a walk with my new toy, doesn't look a particularly nice day, but around here this is positively tropical



the watch is the Hanowa Swiss Military SM34223AEU/H03MS
it measures 48mm wide including the crown and around 12mm thick, due to the thickness it wears much smaller and has a 22mm lug width
flat sapphire crystal and a respectable Swiss made ISA 8172 chrono, the chrono seconds run at 5th of a second, subdial at 9 is minutes, subdial at 3 running seconds, subdial at 6 is the day and date at 4
the bezel insert despite the photo is a quite restrained burgundy, i am not normally a fan of colour on watches but this one works well IMO against the beautifully detailed black dial.
so a good day for me....................a nice watch and a nice walk

it is a big watch, but then i am used to them.............maybe i shouldnt lose too much weight?

Nice views to enjoy when having a walk & some fresh air.

The watch is nice to look at as well.  I do like the red bezel and how matching colours have been positioned on the dial. While the dial looks quite "busy" it's still easy to tell the time which is great. I think my only reservation would be the size though that's mainly down to being more used to smaller vintage watches.

Whats the lug to lug length and how is the hand setting?
On an amazon review someone said hand setting was a bit sloppy.
