It features a round case in gun PVD stainless steel with a 44 mm diameter and a 13.75 mm thickness. With its well-thought-out proportions, it is designed to adorn a men's wrist. Enhanced by a mineral crystal, it houses a grooved, protected crown at 3 o'clock to set the hours and minutes at will. A black PVD bezel is enhanced by cardinal and intercardinal points as well as the collection name, adding a subtle and refined note to the watch. Finally, the screw-down, transparent caseback ensures 10 ATM water resistance while offering a breathtaking view of the watch's inner mechanism.

The Dial

Feel the watch come alive on your wrist with this stunning round skeleton dial. With its double-circle finish, it captures every eye and glorifies your wrist day after day. At the center, two luminescent gun-colored hands sweep precisely to indicate hours and minutes, even in the dark. Tipped with a red alphajet, the slim gray seconds hand is always ready to deliver the seconds. The outer ring in sandblasted blue is marked with "Made in France" and the French flag, and features a minute railway graduated with blue lines. The hours are marked by eleven luminescent baton-shaped hour markers and the Patrouille logo at 12 o'clock as a signature. The outer edge is scaled by a 360-degree compass. Finally, the brand prints the movement type at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

A Japanese-made automatic movement will bring this watch to life. Renowned for its high performance, the Time Module NH72 caliber, manufactured by Seiko, keeps the hands running reliably for up to 40 hours on its power reserve. Equipped with 24 jewels and beating at 21,600 vibrations/hour, it ensures precise and dependable display of hours, minutes, and seconds.

The Bracelet

The bracelet of this watch is crafted in gun PVD stainless steel. It features three rows of links - two polished and one brushed central row - adding a modern, sophisticated touch to the watch. Comfortable yet sturdy, it will elegantly contour your wrist and bring a sport-chic edge to every outfit. With a 22 mm lug width, it is fitted with a deployment clasp for secure, easy fastening.

Water Resistance

This model offers 10 atmospheres of water resistance - that's 100 meters. This is a water-resistant watch! This fun, stylish timepiece is ready to dive into aquatic adventures right alongside you. From puddles to the pool, this watch handles water with ease. Shower, bath, and even vigorous swim sessions? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want to be clear: this model, while water-resistant, is not suitable for diving (professional or recreational) and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while submerged.
