Festina Swiss Made Rive F20052/1 Watch

The Watch

Founded in 1902 in La Chaux-de-Fonds - the heartland of Swiss watchmaking - Festina has built a reputation as an unrivaled force in the world of watchmaking. The brand works with premium raw materials to craft its exceptional timepieces: clean, sophisticated designs made to adorn your wrist. Today's featured watch is the F20052/1 from the Rive collection. It boasts a barrel-shaped case crafted in stainless steel, with a silver tone enhanced by brushed and polished finishes for a distinctly refined look. Designed exclusively for the discerning woman, it measures 35 mm in diameter with a thickness of 8.60 mm. The case is fitted with a bezel adorned with a chiseled ring that adds character to the overall design. It frames the flat sapphire crystal, which shields the dial from everyday shocks and scratches. At 3 o'clock, a crown with the brand's initial lets you adjust the watch's main functions. Finally, the watch's case back ensures a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This stunning dial showcases the elegance and refinement of this exceptional timepiece. Its white mother-of-pearl background features several elements designed to help you read the time in low-light conditions, thanks to their white luminescent treatment. The hours are indicated by the short hand pointing to baton indices and the Arabic numeral at 12 o'clock, while the minutes are tracked by the long hand pointing to the black railway minute track. A slender seconds hand completes the trio. At 6 o'clock, a date window displays the date along with information about the watch's country of manufacture and water resistance. The brand's logo and name are displayed at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

The brand opted for a Swiss-origin quartz movement to power the watch's core functions. The Ronda 705 caliber drives the hands and date window with smooth precision. Reliable and efficient, it runs on an Sr920sw battery with an impressive 60-month, or 5-year, power reserve.

The Bracelet

Festina pairs the watch case with a grey stainless steel bracelet that coordinates effortlessly with any outfit. Its H-link design features chamfered connectors, and the brushed finish adds an appealing dimension. At 11 mm wide, it is secured at the wrist by a silver-toned deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - a truly waterproof timepiece. Built to keep up with your aquatic adventures, it handles everything from puddles to the pool without complaint. Shower, bath, and lap swimming are no match for it. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want to be clear: while water-resistant, this model is not suited for diving (professional or otherwise) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not using the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
