Watch Description

Franck Muller is a brand that doesn't get a lot of attention in today's steel sport watch-centric consumer mindset.

And we think that's a damn shame.

Muller the man and Muller the brand have brought a lot to the world of modern horology, and his colorful, mid-1990s/early-2000s tonneau-shaped dress watch collection perfectly exhibits a design language that walks a fine line between classical and whimsical.

This particular piece, a Reference 6850 'Vegas',  lives up to that reputation...

It features a beautifully Tonneau case with a curved sapphire crystal, a crown with a center pusher to operate the randomized 'roulette' function, and a standout, green 'radial' dial with stylized-Arabic indices, a 'roulette' wheel in the center, and a matching luminous 'kite' handset with a 'squiggle' indicator hand for the roulette wheel.

This piece is powered by an automatic winding movement and comes fitted to a matching green croc strap with a signed steel pin buckle.

Despite their under-the-radar profile, Franck Muller timepieces are still some of the best in the world of dressy complications, and this wildly fun (and debatable pointless) piece is no exception.

### Overall Watch Rating: 7.5/10.0

- **Dials &amp; Design Metric (9.0/10.0)**
The watch features a highly original and intricate dial design, with a roulette wheel motif that showcases Franck Muller's creativity and craftsmanship. The use of vibrant colors and detailed markers enhances its visual appeal.

Franck Muller is renowned for its innovative designs and high-quality craftsmanship, placing it in the luxury tier. The brand's reputation for unique complications and bold aesthetics contributes positively to its score.

- **Material Metric (8.0/10.0)**
The watch is crafted with high-quality materials, including a stainless steel case with a polished finish. While luxurious, the use of standard materials limits the score slightly compared to more exotic options.

The automatic movement, while reliable, lacks the complexity of more advanced calibers. However, it provides adequate performance for daily wear.

- **Functions Metric (7.5/10.0)**
The watch includes basic functions such as time and date, with the added novelty of the roulette complication. Its water resistance is minimal, suitable for everyday use but not for aquatic activities.

The unique roulette complication adds a playful element, though it does not enhance the watch's technical complexity significantly.

- **Versatility Metric (6.5/10.0)**
The watch's bold design limits its versatility, making it more suitable for casual or fashion-forward settings rather than formal occasions.
