Bought the Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite on Saturday, and it hasn’t left my wrist since. The look and feel of the Hesalite crystal, the dial, and especially the movement really check all the boxes for me.

The pushers also don’t require much force to engage; they have a bright, positive click. And the little seconds-hand jump from the lateral clutch engagement surprisingly doesn’t bother me that much. Maybe because I mostly use it to time pasta and instant noodles.

The original fabric strap with the deployant buckle had a pretty aggressive taper, which I personally don’t love, so I changed the strap right after I got home. That said, the build quality of the original strap was really good.

The watch wears small because of its short lugs, and it wears thinner than the specs suggest thanks to the case design and how well it distributes its visual weight.

My favorite part of the watch, which I never expected to like this much, is the white-painted hands. They’re legible in literally any environment. Now I can’t stop noticing how hard polished hands can be to read in certain lighting.
