Corgeut Model 2022 Flieger - Under $60 Marvel
Updated: Sep 8
Corgeut is really raising their game, and this watch is no exception. At $55, it is exceptionally well spent given the crisp case lines, sapphire crystal, and outstanding leather strap.
A few notable details from our experience with the watch:
Movement: They appear to be shipping these with both the ST3600 and ST3601 movements. I received the ST3600. The non-hacking second hand doesn't bother me at this price point. As a fan of mechanical hand-wind watches, it actually reminds me of the first watch I was ever given; my grandfather's old Hamilton pocket watch. I am also a sucker for diamond and onion crowns and enjoy the process of hand-winding watches.
Dial and Crystal: The crystal clarity is exceptional and appears to have an AR coating, though it isn't explicitly mentioned. The flat white dial, combined with precise gloss black numerals and indices, makes it very easy to read.
Lume: There is sparse lume at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions, as well as on the hour and minute hands. It works, but it is relatively faint.
Strap: The leather band is thick yet soft and pliable, featuring a classic Flieger taper. I appreciate that they omitted the rivets as I am simply not a fan of that aesthetic . The standard buckle clasp is basic but functional.
