# Behrens B022 Perigee Review by A.I. WatchMetrics


## Watch Summary
The Behrens B022 Perigee is a compact 38mm titanium tool watch blending diver capabilities with a distinctive space-inspired aesthetic, featuring a laser-etched black dial mimicking orbital perigee paths, powered by a reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement offering 38 hours of power reserve, aimed at discerning collectors seeking unique microbrand originality without mainstream hype.

## Overall Watch Rating: 6.7/10.0

**Material Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Grade 5 titanium case paired with AR-coated sapphire delivers exceptional lightweight durability and clarity, surpassing many steel divers in the $2,000 range like the Oris Aquis.
**Dials & Design Metric (8.7/10.0)** - The innovative laser-etched perigee orbital pattern on a textured black dial stands out for originality and legibility, elevating it above standard tool watch aesthetics like the Seiko Prospex.
**Versatility Metric (7.8/10.0)** - At 38mm with 200m water resistance and titanium comfort, it transitions seamlessly from daily wear to adventure, comparable to the Tudor Black Bay 36.
**Rarity Metric (6.8/10.0)** - Limited production around 50 units combined with a $2,350 price point offers solid exclusivity, akin to other microbrand LEs but not ultra-rare like 10-piece runs.
**Brand Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Behrens exemplifies high-premium microbrand craftsmanship with low-volume UK production, on par with Sinn or Christopher Ward for enthusiast appeal.
**History & Innovation Metric (6.0/10.0)** - While the young brand innovates with proprietary dial etching, it lacks deep heritage, positioning it similarly to emerging indies like Baltic.
**Movement Metric (5.8/10.0)** - The Sellita SW200-1 provides solid ETA-clone reliability at 28,800 vph but no standout finishing or specs, matching mid-tier autos like those in Hamilton Khakis.
**Functions Metric (5.2/10.0)** - Hours, minutes, seconds, and date deliver everyday utility without excess, standard for the category like Tissot PRX.
**Complications Metric (3.9/10.0)** - Basic date window offers minimal added function, typical of simple three-handers below entry-level chronographs.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 6.5
## TPS Interpretation: Solid Value: The watch delivers premium materials and unique design exceeding expectations for its price, ideal for microbrand enthusiasts.
## WM Collector Grade: B+
## Performance Insights: Strengths in materials and design shine for a titanium microbrand standout, while basic movement and functions keep it from luxury tiers, offering strong value below its $2,350 implied price equivalent of $1,800.
