The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that guards against everyday wear and ensures excellent visibility from every angle. A notched crown at 3 o'clock, fitted with a 2-O-Ring gasket, lets you easily set the hours and minutes. This watch offers 3 ATM water resistance, secured by a snap-on engraved caseback.

The Dial

This beautiful watch features a stunning round dial that lends it a sophisticated aesthetic. Its matte beige center is framed by a silver ring with a sunray finish, adding a subtle, refined gleam. The dial includes a classically displayed minute track alongside printed Arabic numeral indexes alternating with baton-style markers for clear hour indication. At the center, three brass hands are finished with a blue PVD coating, indicating the hours, minutes, and seconds. At 6 o'clock, the "Swiss Made" label is displayed, while the brand name is signed beneath the 12 o'clock marker, completing the dial's refined design.

The Movement

This beautiful watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement renowned for its reliability and efficiency. Specifically, it features the AL-520 caliber built on a Sellita SW200 base, which brings the hands to life with precise timekeeping of hours, minutes, and seconds - day and night. The movement is equipped with an Incabloc anti-shock system and 26 jewels. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

The watchmaker has fitted this magnificent timepiece with a refined strap. Crafted from stitched calfskin leather, it adds a polished, elegant touch. Its black tone pairs effortlessly with any outfit, draping your wrist in understated style. It is secured by a 16 mm pin buckle in stainless steel. The long section of the strap measures 120 mm and the short section measures 80 mm. The lug width is 19 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 3 atmospheres - equivalent to 30 meters - this watch is not designed for aquatic use. You can keep it on to wash your hands or handle light household tasks involving a little water, but the Ocarat team strongly recommends leaving it on the nightstand before showering or bathing, and in the hotel safe before heading to the pool or taking a dip in the turquoise waters of your vacation destination.
