The watch features 50m water resistance and a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coatings. Opinions are split on the value proposition, with some viewing Furlan Marri as an overpriced homage brand and others defending the pricing for its design and finishing. Overall, owners rate the Furlan Marri Mechaquartz highly for its captivating vintage design and impressive finishing at its price point.
