An anti-reflective coating ensures effortless reading from any angle. A crown at 3 o'clock provides easy access to hand and moon phase adjustments. Finally, a screw-down, engraved caseback provides water resistance to 5 ATM. Its transparent window invites you to admire the movement's inner workings.

The Dial

This stunning dial features a mother-of-pearl finish that is the hallmark of this watch's charm. Its edge reveals printed red Roman numerals marking the hours with distinction, followed by a circle of 56 claw-set diamonds totaling 0.70 ct, amplifying the brilliance of the piece while adding a touch of luxury and prestige. The analog display is brought to life by two pear-shaped hands in brass with a silver tone, sweeping the dial to indicate hours and minutes - short hand for hours, long for minutes. At 6 o'clock, an aperture reveals the moon phase display. Finally, the brand's name appears at 12 o'clock, while the place of manufacture is noted between the 5 and 7 o'clock indices.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a Swiss manufacture automatic movement - specifically the FC-331 caliber based on SW 280, which drives the moon phase display and hands. The movement features 26 jewels and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 38 hours for reliable, long-lasting performance.

The Strap

This red strap adds the perfect vintage, distinguished finishing touch to the model. Crafted in calfskin leather with an alligator pattern, it stands out for its distinctive design, enhanced by tone-on-tone stitching for added style and durability. Easily interchangeable thanks to its quick-release system, this strap is 18 mm wide at the lug and features a deployment clasp with a width of 16 mm. Its length is 115 mm on the long end and 75 mm on the short end.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 5 atmospheres, or 50 meters, this watch takes its first steps into the world of water resistance. While it's not designed for bathing, swimming, or scuba diving, the occasional forgotten shower won't spell disaster. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to protect its movement for years to come.
