SKAGEN Melbye Titanium & Charcoal Day-Date Model SKW6007 – The compulsive mission was to do a pickup of my first titanium watch, and that dastardly YouTube algorithm got me watching a Skagen vid. Also, I had yet to acquire a watch with a mesh bracelet and not sure of that vibe. I really liked all the design cues for this watch, and it was on sale!
Talk about a low profile flyweight watch on your wrist!! You cannot feel it on your wrist, but the design is highly legible, including the day-date!
