The indicators are set using the silver crown at 3 o'clock and the two pushers flanking it. Its grooved profile provides a confident grip when adjusting functions. Finally, this timepiece features a screwed caseback guaranteeing 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This dial showcases a striking green background that enhances its charm and lends it a vintage feel. It contrasts beautifully with the case tone and gives the watch a compelling aesthetic. The indexes are rendered as Arabic numerals and triangles, swept by two silver dauphine hands indicating the hours and minutes. Both the hands and the small circles are coated with a luminescent layer for readability in low-light conditions. The perimeter features a tachymeter scale for calculating the speed of a moving object, complemented by a minute track for greater time-reading precision. The chronograph seconds hand with its red tip joins them for the seconds countdown. Three subdials appear at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock to display the 24-hour indicator, small seconds, and 60-minute counter respectively, while the date window between 4 and 5 o'clock shows the day of the month. Finally, the brand signs its name at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This superb model is powered by a Japanese-made quartz movement - the Miyota caliber 0S20, renowned for its extreme precision and reliability. This high-performance mechanism ensures accurate display of hours, minutes, and seconds, along with the proper functioning of the chronograph counters and date window. It is powered by a type 399 battery with an estimated life of 5 years.

The Strap

This elegant strap enhances the clean, classic look of the watch. Crafted from brown calfskin leather with matching stitching, it embodies a retro-chic aesthetic. Supple and durable, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit and ensures comfortable everyday wear. It features a 20 mm lug width and fastens with a chrome pin buckle for easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres - equivalent to 50 meters - this watch is your gateway to water-resistant timepieces. While it's not built for swimming, bathing, or diving, you can safely forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping it dry whenever possible to preserve the movement for years to come.
