LS04 - Aventurine

I’d wanted an aventurine watch, especially a moonphase, ever since I saw the now uncommon Omega Speedmaster moonphase with aventurine dial over 10 years ago. Although gorgeous pieces, something like that isn’t in the budget for now. A handful of other aventurine dial watches have come along in that time, though none have impressed me quite like the LS04 has, especially for the price. There’s only a couple nitpicks of things I would have changed - the aventurine on my example is almost a little *too* glittery, more stardust than starry sky. I went with the standard movement, which is fine but not terribly a lot to look at - an engraved solid caseback would have been preferred to a display back. Lastly, more a matter of taste - strap is a little too thick for the svelte case profile to me, I swapped it for a slimmer saffiano leather strap in dark blue. Those are all are minor though and overall I’m very pleased with it!

I just received my LS04 and I am seriously in love with this watch. The blue aventurine dial is a perfect background for the most beautiful moon representation I have ever seen on a watch. Seriously, a most beautiful watch!

Just received mine in the mail today, blown away by all of it. the way the dial sparkles in the sun, the moonphase complication down to the way it feels. incredible watch if you’re thinking about it just get it. top notch customer service as well

This watch is gorgeous - I have it with the stainless steel bracelet and it fits my wrist nicely. The moon face stands out and the aventurine shines when the light hits it from different directions. Would highly recommend!

This is a beautiful watch the moon really is large and hard to miss in its full phase, with delicate shading looks realistic- and glows in the dark . worn this for a week and is keeping good time. the sapphire glass does attract a lot of smears and grease so you will be seen polishing the glass often to ensure it looks its best when people tell you - "i like your watch!"
i do wish it had incorporated a date window, they could have discreetly placed it in the bottom section of the watch, whilst still ensuring the moon and sparkling Aventurine dominates the display. I realised after purchasing the Miyolta mechanism shows the moon right to left, but the Swiss apparently goes left to right: not that it really matters - a crescent is a crescent and a gibbous moon is still a gibbous moon whether it is waxing or waning, but some might prefer the left to right movement for northern hemisphere
I did an unboxing video if your interested with my first impressions.
