The new take on the 1979 original manages to both pay faithful homage and update it for modern sensibilities. High-intensity titanium has replaced steel, and the 38.8mm case is a slim 8.9mm, ensuring the vibe of this watch isn’t too sporty. The hexagonal bezel and bracelet hew closely to the original — it would be foolish to remake a Genta design and change these most Genta of elements too much. Of course, the overall quality of all the elements has lifted significantly in the last 45 years, as you’d expect. One area that has been updated quite interestingly is the dial. Initially, this rich black dial had a hammered-type effect; here, it’s been tweaked to show off a new technique, with around 1600 radial lines engraved into the dial, creating a textural finish that leaves a conventional sunray brushed dial in the shade.
