Got home to find this beauty waiting for me -



New Glycine Airman Base 22 - not officially released until 1 May, but have managed to get it beforehand with huge thanks to chris2982. It is the very latest version of the Airman.

42mm across, with sapphire crystal front and back, 3 timezones, WR 200m and first impressions are good. Finish is top notch, and although the bracelet feels lightweight compared to the SMP I am currently wearing, I am sure I will get used to it. Speaking of the bracelet - it is a very nice satin finish tapering down to a slightly smaller clasp which is tri-fold with a locking fold over section.

Not quite sure why but it came in a SST06 box :? - but will sort that out later with Glycine and see if they are actually going to do another box for it. Also came with high quality leather strap and the new Airman book. Here are some more Q+D photos of the watch -









And the second new arrival today, is not a watch or even remotely connected to watches - but something that I have been waiting for for quite a while -
