It’s worth noting that MAEN are about to launch a whole series of Skymaster 38s, including fetching pandas and reverse pandas. Some of these may be preferable to the Worn and Wound special edition, and they might be priced more attractively too.

On the apparent size of the pushers, they may be normal sized pushers on a watch that at 38mm, is smaller than the usual Speedmaster and Daytona. I’m a fan of 38mm for wearability, particularly on Datejust style designs, though watches with a tool bezel or tachymeter can usually handle a little more without becoming overwhelming, even on slim wrists. 39mm may have helped with the proportions, but at least it’s not 40mm like everything else at the moment. It would be good to try one on and not just judge from the pictures.
On the price, it’s not clear how value retention will work long term with recent brands at this end of the market, but it’s a useful price bracket and someone needs to fill it. Chronos from the big name Swiss brands now cost what we used to pay for a nice car, and cars cost what we used to pay for a one bedroom flat. MAEN have come up with some appealing designs so I hope they do well.
EDIT - just realised the price of the standard one is on there, converted from Euros it’s £1285 so not a huge amount for a chrono.
