Dive into the world of horological elegance with the Furlan Marri x Time+Tide Outback Elegy, a timepiece that breaks away from the ordinary. While black, blue, and green dials dominate the watch scene, this unique creation introduces a rich brown hue inspired by the mesmerizing colors of Australia’s outback. The warm tones take on a darker, moodier twist, capturing the essence of the vast landscape.
The dial is a masterpiece of complexity, featuring a metallic ochre brown center that gracefully transitions to a glossy chocolate hue towards the edges, all reflecting the meticulously crafted handset. The printed sector layout and dial appliqués add a touch of warmth with their polished rose gold finish. Noteworthy is the shift from Breguet Arabics to Roman numerals, contributing to the geometric nature of the sector dial while adding a touch of sophistication.
The 37.5mm case is a nod to vintage-inspired designs, providing a charming and slender profile reminiscent of classic watches. With a slim build of just over 10mm, the case offers both charm and comfort, reaching out to 46mm with lugs that draw inspiration from vintage cornes de vache styles. The scalloped sides, horizontally brushed and seamlessly transitioning into the curvaceous top surface, are a standout feature. The polished step up to the circularly brushed surround of the AR-coated crystal is the perfect finishing touch.
Two leather straps accompany the Outback Elegy, allowing you to choose between dark brown or matte black to complement or contrast the dial tones. The quick-release spring bars, curved in the brown strap and straight in the black, provide a thoughtful customization option.
Beneath the exquisite exterior lies the La Joux-Perret G100 movement, a testament to Furlan Marri’s commitment to quality. Early adopters of La Joux-Perret’s foray into the affordable market, this automatic movement boasts a slim construction with a full winding rotor and an impressive 68-hour power reserve. The successful collaboration between La Joux-Perret and parent company Citizen, which also owns Miyota, forms the foundation of this exceptional movement.
