Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA Rose Gold

The new Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA Rose Gold automatic watch sports LW’s signaure see-through skeleton dial and the iconic Blue Gold rotor of its vintage AS 1876 calibre NOS automatic movement.

I have always wondered: what if I was very, VERY successful carpenter, would I want to buy an iron jack with cast platinum body and its handles made of some precious sort of African wood?

I mean, come on, Linde Werdelin makes superb instruments for diving and hiking and other extreme sports. Why would anyone want his or her tool to be made of gold, which is so soft you can scratch it while picking your nose?

Anyway, although I strongly prefer the SpidoLite in the DLC-coated titanium case this one is, too, absolutely beautiful.

However I would not advise using the watch with LW’s Reef or Rock computers if you don’t want to scratch it.
