The Sensei's take
The Mk II Watches Key West is a perplexing offering at nearly a million bucks, especially with an underwhelming Sensei Score of 5.0/10.

Unless you're a billionaire with an insatiable lust for rarity, this price tag is a baffling leap into the deep end of watch collecting; save your money.

We partnered with collectors, forumers, and our customers to develop this modern interpretation of the iconic vintage design. The six versions consist of 2 bezel and 3 dial variants. The black & gold 2 and the white & gold 2 dial versions were manufactured using a technique resurrected from near extinction. The last dial variant employs a functional matte black and white print 3 finish that is a hallmark of tool watches.
