Just picked up this multi-function in the mail today:

...Time
...Temperature
...Compass direction
...Tachymeter
...Uni-directional diver's bezel
...More??? (haven't figured out if the two sub-dials within the main dial are functional)

The case is 57mm wide but only 44.5mm long, so it wears fine on a small wrist.

Strictly for "curb appeal!"

Tom, this is NEAT here ! Mr. Vintage does a 180 (maybe a 540!) 803574 ..It's definitely a different kind of watch for you, but at
the same time it does kind of have a retro feel about it TOO ! So it's really pretty
cool ! Cool Add to that all of the various features like compass, temperature, along
with tachymeter, plus more, and you get a watch that James Bond would enjoy.
It's vintage, modern, AND futuristic Tom. Congratulations on picking it up ! Smile One
of the many things that is nice about this watch Tom is how much you evidently
get for the price. So many times we see watches that have a unique, and distinct
design in magazines, or online that have incredibly high price tags. However this
Oulm, which is a brand new to me, (Thanks!), seems to give you a uniquely cool
look that is backed up a ton of neat features. Honestly, if you just take the case
shape by itself, you would be happy. That long stance looks as if it really is very
comfortable on the wrist, and even though the watch basically has three different
dials, it still manages to fit everything together in an especially organized way.
The main dial gives you a definite dive watch feel with it's markers, as well as
bezel. Those dual sub-dials, along with hands add some extra sport in as well.
The other two play off the main dial perfectly also. I like how both the temperature,
and compass have that small black circle in their centers. Also like the bezel that
is around the compass. It all fits nicely with the shape, as well as stealthy finish
on the watch. Even the strap is neat. Which has to be the theme with this one !
Congrats, and as always..Enjoy Tom !

Neat watch, along with pictures of it !

Yeah, it's no Doxa, but for under twenty bucks delivered it's a neat little novelty piece.

Ok I'll admit it - I have a wild one that's somewhat similar with a face only a mother could love. Still in my collection BTW.
