It's so difficult to not be a pure fanboy of this brand. They are superb.

That Astra is another beautiful watch from Lorier! Lorenzo & Lauren have been knocking it out of the park with their offerings.

The Astra looks like a watch that Don Draper from Mad Men would have worn to the office in 1965. Stunner. I'll bet it also looks fantastic on a leather strap. I am a big fan of the design language used by Lorier. Cheers!

Actually, since he wears a suit in the office, Don Draper would have worn a dress watch with a leather strap. Either a Cartier Tank or a vintage Omega Seamaster (with leather strap). The Astra appears to be a homage to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. At the price level of the Astra, I'd get a Seiko SARB035. The lume on the Astra is amazing though. Technically, these type of watches (round case with stainless steel bracelet) are classified as sports watches not dress watches. But Don Draper would have worn that on the weekends with his button down shirt and khakis. If he wears a sports shirt (short sleeves), then he would wear a dive watch like a Rolex Sub or the Lorier Neptune. @teler ;)

Another great review, Leo…thank you. I was really pleasantly surprised to see the outer ring of the dial light up…really cool. It I’ll be interesting to see if Lorier release other dial colors like a champagne or salmon color in future versions of the Astra.

I am missing a diver or gmt so I want to get a Neptune or Hyperion Guys at lorier are so nice and they said the bezel measurements for these is around 38mm, do you think the neptune wears smaller for a 39mm watch (compared perhaps to the Tudor)?

Big problem with the Astra lug-width... When you're making "design choices" of always using hesilite crystal.... Using bezels that are also not scratch resistant... Using all retro design cues.... To get the authentic modern retro reissue, with semi original designs.... There is nothing classical looking about a 20 mm lug width on a 36 mm watch!!! Completely loses all resemblance of the time period!
