It features a silver-toned case that pairs effortlessly with any accessory. Round in shape and fully oxygen-free, it measures 41 mm in diameter with a thickness of 11.30 mm. It is fitted with a bezel featuring a ceramic insert with cardinal points in luminescent treatment, making them visible in the dark. This bezel surrounds an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that sits atop the dial for effortless readability. At 3 o'clock, a gray crown allows for easy adjustment of the central functions. Pumpkin-shaped, it bears a star in relief and a grooved texture for a comfortable grip. Finally, this timepiece features a snap-on engraved case back ensuring a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This striking dial makes for effortless, enjoyable timekeeping. It sports a captivating green tone that gives the model a truly compelling character. Its base is enhanced by engraved lines evoking cracked ice mountains, lending it a distinctive, original style. At its center, three silver-toned hands display the time with precision. Of the cathedral type, they consist of a slender seconds hand, a long minutes hand, and a short hours hand. These hands point to the minute track along the edge and the Arabic numerals serving as hour markers. Most of these time markers feature a white luminescent treatment for improved readability in low-light conditions. They are complemented by a date window at 3 o'clock for added functionality. Lower down, near 6 o'clock, the place of manufacture and movement type are indicated, while the brand's name and logo appear just below 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats an automatic movement MB24.17 based on the Sellita SW200-1. Robust and reliable, this mechanism ensures vibration resistance and precise timekeeping. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz, and features 26 jewels to minimize friction. It provides a solid power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

This elegant bracelet will adorn your wrist with distinction. Its silver tone pairs seamlessly with any outfit. Versatile and understated, it is crafted from stainless steel with brushed and polished links that enhance its refined look. It is interchangeable and lightweight, sitting beautifully on your wrist. The deployant clasp makes it easy to put on and take off. The lug width is 20 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. We're talking a truly water-resistant timepiece! Ready to dive into aquatic adventures, it handles everything from puddles to the pool without missing a beat. Showers, baths, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suitable for diving (professional or recreational) and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding crown or pusher use while submerged.
