Benarus Moray 42 Dive Watch Review
Finding that ideal watch is a very subjective process. Speaking personally, I cannot count the number of times that I really loved a watch but found that it was too large for my wrist, or perhaps more accurately, simply larger than I prefer to wear. These days, I would have trouble making a daily-wearer out of anything much larger than 43 or 44 millimeters wide. While I have no objective issue with a larger watch, I find that watches in the 38-42 mm range often better suit my wrist and my personal style.

This version has an olive green dial and is paired with a rather comfortable black leather strap. Even though black-dialed watches are probably more common, olive drab-colored dials are more common for field watches, so I think it is a fitting hue for the Orient Defender.
