It is essential to notice that this restricted version is priced larger than the usual Viajeros, which retail for $799. Slightly, the “International Citizen” Viajero is priced with a $150 premium at $949.99. The premium might be attributed to a couple distinctive parts – the thermally blued fingers, a crocodile strap made by Delugs, and a brand new bezel which in all probability does not obtain economies of scale at solely 50 items.
Does it qualify this model of the Viajero as a price proposition nonetheless? I believe so, solely as a result of it nonetheless stays below a thousand {dollars}. Regardless that it makes use of a really customary NH34 caliber (and I’ve undoubtedly critiqued different watches utilizing this caliber at the next worth level), there actually are no compelling options out there. If something, it makes the usual variations of the Viajero look much more value-packed compared. Whereas some could bemoan the choice to solely produce 50 of those, the model is not producing giant batches of watches usually, so I assume this version serves as a great way to check the waters for extra variations to come back.
