Carl F. Bucherer Patravi EvoTec Calendar Watch

The next watch to have Carl F. Bucherer's great A1000 base movement will be this Patravi EvoTec Calendar watch. The brand put a type of annual calendar on top of the A1000 for the CFB A1004 automatic movement that now has the time, big date (love that), day of the week, subsidiary seconds disc, and a week indicator. Week indicators are rare, and track the 52 week period in each year. This is done on the large inner dial ring. They aren't super useful, but interesting to see how you are progression into the year. Rather than a subdial for the seconds, there is a disc that rotates and you use the small red arrow to read it.

The case is in steel and 42.6mm wide. I like the round case for the Patravi more than their Cushion case - but that is just a matter of taste. The cases are finished quite well, and the operation of CFB movement is usually really nice. While the watch is cool, I think they could have done a better job at designing the dial. It could have been more legible, and less busy. Overall the new Patravi EvoTec Calendar watch is nice, satisfying the complication junkie that Carl F. Bucherer is known to go after.
