Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise Azimuth for its unique and funky designs, with one owner calling their Roulette model a "fantastic one of a kind timepiece" due to its enjoyable dice-spinning mechanism. The substantial weight of the Roulette is also noted positively. However, some users find certain camouflage dials unappealing and express confusion about how to read the time on some models. One owner found the 43mm case size to be too large for their wrist. The Azimuth Roulette is available used for around $3,500. On balance, owners rate Azimuth highly for its distinctive and fun approach to watchmaking, particularly its unique complications.
