Averau 39 Moon Phase Watch "Big Moon" White

The Watch

Founded in 2018, Echo/neutra is an Italian concept brand delivering original design, vintage aesthetics, and a sporting spirit. It offers fresh takes on classic timepieces from the watchmaking world, with a remarkable attention to detail. Today, it presents a modern interpretation of the moon phase complication through the Averau Big Moon White Full Lume. This is an elegant, thoughtfully designed watch - comfortable on the wrist and a pleasure to look at. It features a round case crafted in 316L stainless steel with a clean, classic silhouette enhanced by a brushed finish, beautifully complemented by polished chamfers that give it a charming appeal. With a diameter of 39 mm, a thickness of 13.50 mm and a length of 46 mm, this case - perfectly sized for men's wrists - is topped by a domed sapphire crystal. Protecting the dial from scratches, the crystal features a double anti-reflective coating on its inner surface for outstanding legibility. The crown at 3 o'clock has a fine knurled finish for a secure grip when setting the hands. The case back is secured by a screwed case back engraved with a mountain motif stamped on a sandblasted center, framed by inscriptions around the edge. This back delivers a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The dial features perfectly arranged elements for easy, fluid time reading. Set against a white base, black baton indexes mark 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock, treated with Super LumiNova BGW9 for a blue photoluminescent glow - ensuring perfect legibility even at night, just like the arrow-shaped hour and pointed-baton minute hands. These markers are complemented by a minute track with fine batons indicating the minutes on the outer edge and hours toward the center, paired with Arabic numerals for effortless time reading. The seconds hand features a distinctive red and white tip, a nod to the trail markers used by the "Club Alpino Italiano" in the Dolomites. This red accent also appears on the "Automatic" inscription at 9 o'clock and on the arrow indicators pointing to the four main moon phases and the 8 phases of a complete lunar cycle spanning approximately 29.5 days. This magnificent moon phase complication at 6 o'clock displays a large, strikingly realistic and finely detailed moon. The dial is completed by a date window at 3 o'clock, showing the date in white against a black background within a round aperture. The finishing touch: the brand's signature at 12 o'clock, followed by the collection name.

The Movement

At the heart of the case beats a Swiss-made automatic movement delivering precise and reliable timekeeping. It is the Sellita SW280-1 caliber, adjusted in 3 positions with an average daily deviation of -7/+7 seconds, alongside reduced maximum error and isochronism. It features 26 jewels and oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 (4Hz) vibrations per hour, offering a power reserve of 41 hours. This quality movement provides three-hand analog display, a date function, and a moon phase complication.

The Strap

The brand has chosen to pair this model with a technical black nylon strap. Its double-layer construction ensures a reassuring fit, with polished silver stainless steel keepers. It is further enhanced by the number "2649" - the model's reference - and the inscription "Averau," giving it a refined, finished look. It features a neatly executed pin buckle for a secure hold.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - and it means business. This timepiece is ready to dive into aquatic adventures right alongside you. From puddles to the pool, it handles water without complaint. Showers, baths, and recreational swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or otherwise) and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding operating the crown or pushers while submerged.
