A convex sapphire crystal protects the dial from daily shocks and scratches while offering clear readability thanks to its anti-reflective treatment. On the caseback, a screwed case back ensures water resistance to 5 bar.

The Dial

A beautiful sunray dial enhances the watch's timeless appeal, sitting elegantly within the case for a refined wrist presence. Dressed in a stunning green hue, it features brushed lines and grey markers for a delicate, easy-to-read display. Two stick hands with pointed tips, coated with C1-grade luminescent treatment, sweep smoothly to indicate hours and minutes - even in low light. The seconds are marked by a slender grey sweep hand. The "Swiss Made" signed bezel houses a minute track graduated with white indices. It surrounds a double luminescent stick index at 12 o'clock, two luminescent stick indices at 6 and 9 o'clock, and eight round indices for the remaining hours - each set with one of eight diamonds totaling 0.04 carats, adding a brilliant, sophisticated sparkle. A white date window at 6 o'clock displays the date in black Arabic numerals. The brand signs the dial with its name below 12 o'clock and notes the water resistance at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Housed within the case, an in-house quartz movement brings this timepiece to life - ensuring smooth, reliable operation of its hands and date window. Precision-engineered for outstanding performance, the FC-240 caliber delivers accurate, dependable readings of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Featuring 5 jewels, this Swiss mechanism is built on the Ronda 705 base caliber and delivers a 60-month battery life.

The Bracelet

This charming watch is paired with a stunning H-link bracelet crafted in 316L stainless steel - comfortable enough for any occasion. With a 21.50 mm lug width, it features clean lines of brushed "H" links with finely polished connectors for a striking finish. Measuring 158 mm in length, it adapts effortlessly to any look. Supremely comfortable for daily wear, it rests elegantly on the wrist with a sport-chic refinement. A push-button deployment clasp ensures a secure, confident fit throughout the day.

An additional rubber strap is included with this timepiece, letting you switch up your look for any occasion. Finished in white and crafted from rubber, its topstitched design adds a refined touch to every outfit. Comfortable in any condition, it closes smoothly with a 316L stainless steel pin buckle - 14 mm wide.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Designed to dazzle, it holds its own against everyday elements without sacrificing a drop of elegance. You can wear it in the shower - though the Ocarat team recommends setting it safely on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and diving are not recommended, as exposure to greater water pressure may damage the watch and result in repair costs.
