BERTUCCI DX3 GLOW | $85

The DX3 Plus from Bertucci boasts a 40mm fibre-reinforced polycarbonate case that also glows in the dark. Crafted from a single piece of polycarbonate, the Unibody case is lightweight and robust while removing the need for spring bars thanks to the fixed bars between the lugs. A pushdown crown at 4 o’clock does not impede wrist movement during activity while staying water-tight to 50 meters.

The face is split into an upper half with a thin window showing the LCD display, and a lower half with four buttons, separated by a thin strip of case material. Beside each button is a color, tying into the function guide printed above the screen. It’s sci-fi chic in the best way possible.
