Not that you want to anyway, as the Old Radium is fitted with one of the most comfortable straps that I have experienced recently. However, now it becomes, even more, an all-round companion, with hardly any activities for which you better take it off. As this is a pilot’s watch, nobody would have thought any less of it when Isotope would have gone for only half the water resistance. Remarkably, it screws in, paying its contribution to the water resistance of 10 atm / 100 meters. The crown gives it quite some character as well, but fortunately, Isotope did forgo one that is too large. On the wrist, you appreciate the proportions of the Old Radium. The different levels of the dial, and the higher chapter ring around it, give it a pleasant sense of depth. They look quite ordinary at first glance, but when you look closer, you see that Isotope also played with the details there. I was in particular delighted by the hands. This takes on a wonderful patina quite quickly, giving the watch a lot of character and complementing the grainy structure of the dial. It starts with the 40mm large case, which is made from CUSN8 bronze. Isotope layered detail upon detail to create a watch that offers fierce competition in this market segment, and I actually wonder how they can achieve all this in relation to the price. The answer to that question is quite short a lot. With many famous brands that were around during the early days of aviation and the most decisive eras of pilots’ watches, what can Isotope offer by reimagining these times? A daring experiment, as this resulted in a pilot watch, a category in which there is no shortage of competition. We can call the Old Radium retro, but for Isotope it was more a way of looking at history and imagining what kind of timepieces they would have made if they were founded in 1940 instead of 2016. With their latest release, the Old Radium, they continue this tradition yet now with a watch that could have been but never was. Among them is Isotope, which likes to give a different twist to everything they do, from its rather novel GMT timepiece to how they approach diving watches. Price: $170 Where to Buy: Nike.In recent years we have seen many new brands enrich the world of watches with innovative approaches.
