The Continental brand is almost a hundred years old. But this is from the day of official registration. According to reports, the first mention of the brand appeared in the early 80s of the 19th century.
The company worked, expanded its range, sold watches almost all over the world and did not disappear during the “quartz crisis”, having survived to this day and retaining the high quality of watches with the swiss made inscription.
Diving style with reservations
Model 20501-GD101950 is made in a recognizable diving style with its inherent attributes: a rotating bezel with markings, a magnifying glass over the date (the so-called cyclops). But at the same time, the declared water resistance is only 50 meters. This means that this watch has splash protection when washing hands. Perhaps this is not the most important parameter for a watch.
But what should a potential buyer pay attention to?
Body: good in every way
Case size 40 mm. In an age of fascination with much larger sizes, this seems very unusual. Although a return to basics, small cases for watches are gaining more and more popularity among manufacturers.
It seems to be a unisex model. Thanks to the size, the watch does not look bulky on a sophisticated female wrist. Checked.
The body is not shiny. The satin covering it does not allow "catching" scratches during operation. Practicality is the main positive side of both satin in general and this model in particular.
Bracelet: continuation of the case
The bracelet repeats the practicality of the case, which is equipped with a clasp opening in two directions with a push-button lock. There are bracelets without a button lock. Unfastening a bracelet of this type is not so easy, but this does not apply to the watch in question.
Dial: green positive
The green color of the dial is, in my opinion, not the most common color scheme. But it is unusual, atypical and looks fresh against the backdrop of the coming summer. Yes, and in the period of autumn-winter cold weather, this color will definitely please.
The pattern on the dial gives the watch a resemblance to the icons of the watch world - Tag Heuer Aquaracer or Patek Philippe Nautilus.
The dial is hidden under the sapphire crystal, as evidenced by the corresponding inscription.
Movement: in the company of well-known
In 2021, Tissot made a splash in the market with the introduction of the PRX model. These watches in the style of the 70s of the last century have gained wild popularity. What is the relationship between Continental 20501-GD101950 and PRX? Quartz movement ETA F06.115. It is not at all thought that Tissot supplied famous watches with a bad caliber. The presence of such a mechanism is a definite plus for Continental.
To whom to recommend?
Considering the size, the watch will become a companion for both male and female representatives. If we add to this a democratic price and Swiss quality, then the choice is more than obvious.
