While both the Heritage Chronograph and Black Bay drew obvious inspiration from the originals on which they're based, the Heritage Advisor takes a step closer to contemporary in its design language. The smooth steel case and prominent crowns/pusher combo have a strong presence within the watch's 42mm frame, a big step towards modern tastes compared to the original watch's 34mm measurement.

The dial, which will now be offered in black, hints at vintage aspirations with beveled hour markers and dauphine hands. The shape of the alarm hand is also carried over from the original. Other dial-side details include a date complication at 6 o'clock, alarm power reserve indication at 3 o'clock and an alarm on/off window at 9 o'clock. A few more bells and whistles than the original sure, but each useful and a welcome additions.
