Owners widely praise the Edox Neptunian Grande Réserve Date Automatic for its robust build and refined design, with reviewers highlighting its 42mm case as versatile and wearable, aided by a 12.3mm thickness. The Caliber 808 automatic movement, based on the La Joux-Perret G100, provides a 68-hour power reserve and is noted for its accuracy, with one source reporting +/-12 seconds per day. Legibility is enhanced by Super-LumiNova X1. The watch is priced at EUR 1,890 and features a ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal.
