Xeric Timeline Retrograde Watch Review: Double The Retrograde, Double The Fun
The Xeric Timeline Retrograde Automatic is a unique and visually striking watch that combines vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. With a coaxial double-retrograde display, it features a 38mm TV-dial case made from stainless steel, two-tone, or gold-tone materials. The watch offers a comfortable fit, enhanced by a dual-finish bracelet and a flat sapphire crystal, while maintaining a water resistance of 50 meters. The standout element is the retro-cool dial with radial ridges, lumed hands, and a date window, although some users may find reading the time at a glance challenging due to the distance of the minute numerals from the hand's tip. Powered by the Japanese Miyota 9015 movement and utilizing a custom module known as the Xeric Caliber X5.1, this watch boasts a 42-hour power reserve and accuracy of -10/+30 seconds per day. Priced at $1,199 USD, the Xeric Timeline Retrograde Automatic is positioned as an affordable yet distinctive option for those looking to add character to their collection. Its unique design and playful features make it a compelling choice for watch enthusiasts seeking something different in their timepieces.
