Thanks Tony!:) A must in everyone's collection in my opinion. It is quite unique and it has a screw-down crown for the Unitas movt! Quick strap change system and it is quite thick and is 45mm in diameter!

Yes the Swiss Army did not appeal to me in the past before I saw this SEAPLANE. And most of them are quartz. Their auto models are not that striking too. It is the their Unitas models that are really nice and this, IMO, is the Best looking among their collection of Unitas models. Very simple looking but CATCHY!

Very unusual and undesign I would say, it is 45mm but does not wear that big as lug to to lug is not that wide. It comes with a leather strap and a rubber band too, both are readily strap on with their quick change system. The crown is a screw-down type(for an Untias?:shock:) where the screw thread is found inside the case instead of protuding out.

Jacky, check out how similar the Poljot 3105 is to the Unitas.  Both have small seconds at 9:00 and fit into 45mm cases, too.

Greg,

Don't worry, I started like you with dust all over my watch pics in the past.:P:P:P And later, someone pointed that out, and that's how I learned. The best is to clean them with a cloth damped with wndown glass cleaning spray/solution. After that, MAKE SURE you DRY IT WELL with a dry clean cloth. Remember just a little will do, do not use too much cleaning fluid.:)

Where did you buy this watch? Froogle shows the lowest price is $350. Is that comparable to what you paid?

Thanks again guys!

Yes Froogle does show $350 BUT.....there are 3 version of the Seaplane. There are actually the Quartz, The Qaurtz chrono and mine is the Unitas.

The $350.00 shown is the quartz movt. :)
