hen it comes to confidence, nothing beats the new PS2/01. This new iteration of the much sought after S2/01 now comes with subtle refinements that make it broodier, more menacing than before. Yet ever sturdier.

First the inner gunmetal bezel encircles firmly the hour/minute ring where 10 applied bronze indexes strongly state their positions, even glowing when night falls. Then the dial itself is simply vertically striped, leaving only space for the essential, the beating heart of the watch itself, and a strong arrow, not trying to pierce it but highlighting the seconds’ disk.

The animation ring in galvanised antique brass brings about an industrial, utilitarian feel. The flat top stainless steel bezel with a large bevel juts out ready to face up to anything life can throw at you. And to top it all off, the sapphire crystal glass glints as if relishing the challenge...

But what hasn’t changed is the great things people have come to expect from Sevenfriday. Things like the 5-layers dial construction or the embedded NFC technology, which allows you to authenticate your watch; after all only the original will do! And another free year warranty...
