Merkur large calendar watch

Owners widely praise the Merkur large calendar watch for its stunning dial design and value, with one owner calling it one of the best-looking triple/large date watches available for under $170. The K1 crystal is noted for its vintage acrylic feel and hardness, and the "nail" second markers are appreciated as a nice detail. The watch keeps good time at approximately +9 seconds per day, and the tall crystal is considered a fun feature. However, some owners find the watch a bit thick, and one owner reported the Seagull ST2130 movement had quality issues and the watch stopped ticking sporadically. Another owner found the 42mm case size too large, preferring a 39mm or 40mm option. Overall, owners rate the Merkur large calendar watch highly for its striking aesthetics and affordability, despite some concerns regarding movement reliability and case thickness.
