I've popped a near NOS Tachy bezel on my Orange Boy. I have to admit that I've been ignoring this ol' Autavia, and I'd forgotten how vibrant the orange elements are. In daylight the orange really pings, well, it actually fluoresces, and it's quite stunning.
I've tried to capture the orange using my laptop screen.. and it hasn't really worked, as bright as the orange is in these pics, it doesn't come close to when in daylight - but I thought I'd share the pics with you anyway..
Another thing I've noticed.. the lume has a slight orange tint. I've noticed the same tint with the Heuer orange diver. Great to see these little touches and attention to detail that Heuer applied. (doesn't really show in the photos, but it is there, kinda a peach tint)
