The Marina Y171 is not a masterpiece of Swiss engineering. It is a rugged, good-looking, disposable automatic watch. It represents the democratization of mechanical watches. For less than the price of dinner for two, you get a legitimate NH35 movement inside a cool, heavy case.
If you accept it for what it is—a —you will love it. If you expect Panerai quality for $70, you will be disappointed. For the budget-conscious enthusiast who wants variety in their collection, the Marina Y171 is a safe and enjoyable bet. marina y171
