The Sensei's take
The Xeric Vendetta X Automatic Blue Steel is a bold pick for watch enthusiasts who want to stand out with an avant-garde design, showcasing an unconventional aesthetic that's not for the faint of heart. However, at $1,200, it struggles with value and lacks the refined specs you might expect from a watch in this price range. If you’re a collector with a taste for the eccentric, it’s worth considering, but do weigh it against more established brands offering better craftsmanship and features at the same price.

More of a time machine than a traditional watch, the Vendetta X was born from Mitch’s passion for vintage dystopian science fiction and concept cars of the 70’s like the Lamborghini Countach or Bond’s Lotus Esprit submarine. Blending a centuries old wandering hour complication with a unique aerodynamic body & minimalist dial complete this decade long dream. We developed a statement piece for our 10 year anniversary timepiece that reflects some of Mitch's favorite inspirations while expressing who we are at Xeric. Limited to only 110 pieces per color, we're confident this unique watch will be cherished in any watch collection.

Sensei Says
The specs, in plain English
On the wrist
At 41 mm it has present, sporty proportions, a short 36 mm lug-to-lug keeps it friendly on smaller wrists.
