It measures 38.80 mm in diameter, 46 mm in length, and 10.60 mm thick. The case is topped with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating - highly scratch- and shock-resistant for outstanding readability. The ridged crown at 3 o'clock allows easy adjustment of the hands and display. The screw-back case ensures 5 ATM water resistance, while its sapphire crystal caseback offers a beautiful view of the movement.

The Dial

This round dial features a light yellow tone and a skeleton center that reveals the movement beneath. You can admire the vivid blue escape wheel and a unique spiral shape evoking the Milky Way. The movement section visible at the nine o'clock position takes the form of a two-tailed comet, a nod to the cosmic design theme of this watch. Finished with a double-circle frame, the dial features a guilloché outer ring housing a minute track and baton hour markers. Two blue hands sweep over them to indicate the hours and minutes, while a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock handles the running seconds. The brand name is displayed at 12 o'clock on a plate secured by two screws.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a mechanical hand-winding movement of Japanese origin - specifically the Orient caliber F8B62, adorned with 22 jewels to ensure reliable performance of the hands and sub-dial. It beats at an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour) and offers a power reserve of 70 hours.

The Strap

This stunning black strap pairs effortlessly with virtually any outfit. Fully crafted from cordovan leather and finished with tone-on-tone stitching along its edges, it's as refined as it is versatile. With a 20 mm lug width, it fastens securely with a deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 5 atmospheres (50 meters), this watch is a great entry point into the world of water-resistant timepieces. While not designed for bathing, lap swimming, or scuba diving, you can safely forget to take it off in the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping it dry to protect the movement for years to come.
