The Dial

This distinctive dial adds a refined touch to your wrist and lets you read the time at a glance. It features a smoked green sunray-brushed background. The outer ring is fitted with a minute track for easy reading, followed by arrow-shaped silver-toned indices swept by dauphine hands at the center. The longest hand marks the minutes, the shortest the hours, and a third hand indicates the seconds. For added practicality, a large date window sits at 6 o'clock. Finally, the brand name is displayed just below the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

This watch features a Swiss-made automatic movement. Powered by the ETA Powermatic 80.651 caliber with a Nivachron hairspring, it delivers precise analog timekeeping. It beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and offers a power reserve of 80 hours.

The Strap

This silver-toned bracelet features a Milanese mesh finish. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it delivers all-day comfort and outstanding durability. The lug width is 20 mm and it fastens with a deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. Yes - this is a genuinely water-resistant timepiece! Ready to follow you into any aquatic adventure, from puddles to the pool, it handles splashing, showering, bathing, and recreational swimming without missing a beat. That said, watchmaking experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or otherwise) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding crown or pusher operation while the watch is submerged.
