Watch of the Month Feb 2019 - Oceanica OP-1 Automatic Flieger

Hello! February is amongst us and my pick for this month is the all new Oceanica OP-1 Flieger. Oceanica is a new and upcoming brand and this is their second release so far. The watch comes in a blue sunburst dial or a black matte finished dial, but my pick is blue. This watch has the quality and specifications of many higher priced fliegers and timepieces in general for a much more affordable price. Well, what is the kick? Absolutely nothing! They are just providing a watch which they will obviously profit less on but pass on a greater savings to their customer. For example, German brand Laco has a blue dial flieger with a Miyota 8215 movement which is a really cheap entry level japanese movement and their watch sells for $400! The Op-1 features a miyota 90S5 automatic movement which contains 24 jewels, has a 40 hour power reserve, and beats at 28,800 BPH. It is essentially the equivalent of an ETA-2824 and was built to compete with it, at a more affordable price. Overall, the finishing is decent and we get a sapphire crystal on the front, and the back where the movement is exhibited. Anyway, for $274.99 I do not honestly think you will find a watch from a smaller brand with the same specs. Have an awesome month!
