With a trend-driven design and a bold sport-chic attitude, it pairs effortlessly with every outfit - day or night. Designed for women's wrists, the octagonal case is made from polished and brushed 316L stainless steel for a dazzling effect when worn. It weighs 98 g and measures 31 mm in diameter, 7.65 mm thick, and 41.20 mm in length. Its clean lines and perfect proportions ensure a comfortable, refined wear every time. The fixed bezel features a gold PVD treatment and is engraved with Roman numeral and baton indices with half-sunken edges along the borders. A sapphire crystal sits above the dial to protect it from daily wear. The case also houses a ridged crown for setting the hands and the date window. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters via its case back.

The Dial

Inside the case, a beautiful round dial enhances the watch's modern, feminine character with a breath of freshness. Its mother-of-pearl base in a stunning white tone brings a soft, elegant note to the wrist. Clear, easy-to-read timekeeping is ensured by a series of gold markers. Two alpha hands sweep from the center, pointing to hours and minutes along a minute track and round indices. The track is marked around the "Swiss Made" perimeter with black and gold dots, while the indices are set with VS-SI diamonds. These white, round stones make the hours instantly legible while adding a radiant brilliance - measuring approximately 0.90-0.95 mm in diameter with a total weight of 0.043 carats. The seconds are swept by a slender yellow gold seconds hand at the center. A date complication is displayed through the white-background date window at 6 o'clock. The brand signs the dial with its name just below 12.

The Movement

This watch is powered by the F04.115 caliber, sourced from the renowned Swiss manufacturer ETA. Celebrated for its exceptional quality and optimal efficiency, this 3-jewel quartz movement keeps the hands and date window running flawlessly at all times - delivering precise reading of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. It features the HeavyDrive system, an end-of-life battery indicator (EOL), and a stop-seconds function.

The Bracelet

The watch sits on a clean, elegant bracelet that adds a timeless refinement to the overall design. With a polished/brushed finish, it's crafted in two-tone 316L stainless steel, showcasing a yellow gold PVD link row framed by two silver-toned rows - a striking contrast that turns heads at the wrist. Supremely comfortable to wear, it delivers the sport-chic touch that elevates any look. An easy-to-use butterfly push-button deployant clasp keeps it secure at all times. Like the lug width, the clasp measures 16 mm wide. The bracelet features strand lengths of 88/78.20 mm and fits wrists from 133.90 to 197.20 mm.

Water Resistance

This model is water resistant to 5 atmospheres (50 m). Its beauty and presence are undeniable - but that doesn't mean it can't hold its own against the elements. Feel free to keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the countertop instead to preserve its shine and integrity over time. As for swimming and diving, we strongly advise against it to avoid damage and costly repairs.
