Men's Swiss Made Watch F20151/A

The Watch

Festina is a watchmaking brand with a history dating back to the early 1900s. It offers timepieces defined by Swiss technology and iconic designs. Precise and refined, its creations strike the perfect balance between elegance and modernity - as showcased by the Swiss Made F20151/A watch. This model features a sophisticated round case crafted in stainless steel with a silver tone. It is enhanced by a pleasing brushed finish across all surfaces, with polished accents for a sharper look. The case measures an impressive 43.50 mm in diameter with a dial opening of 36.50 mm. At 12 mm thick, it sits harmoniously on any wrist thanks to its balanced profile. Above, a flat sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches and any damage that could affect its aesthetics, while providing a clear, sharp view. At three o'clock, the crown is elegantly signed and carefully grooved for easy handling when adjusting the watch's functions. The screw-down caseback protects the movement and delivers water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The dial is the perfect blend of elegance and functionality, with a distinguished and carefully crafted look. Its silver-white color ensures clear reading and creates a beautiful contrast with the various elements. The perimeter features a set of rectangular indexes treated with luminescence for improved legibility in low-light conditions. These markers are followed by a minute track with black bars and Arabic numerals at every 5 minutes. The hours are represented by large black Arabic numerals, except for 12 o'clock which is a triangle and 3 o'clock which is a black rectangle. The latter is complemented by a red arrow pointing to the date window with a white background. The dial's aesthetic is carried through the alpha-style hour and minute hands, also treated with luminescence, while the slender seconds hand is distinguished by its red tip. Brand information is neatly organized to convey multiple details without cluttering the dial. You'll find the brand logo and name below 12 o'clock with the word "Automatic." Above 6 o'clock, the inscriptions "Sapphire," "10 Bar Resist," and "25 Jewels" are displayed, while below, "Swiss Made" reminds you of the watch's origin.

The Movement

Inside the case sits an automatic movement of Swiss manufacture - the ETA 2824-2-3H204 caliber, featuring 25 jewels and an oscillation frequency of 28,800 (4 Hz) beats per hour, delivering a power reserve of 38 hours. Renowned for its reliability, precision, and longevity, this movement offers a three-hand analog display with date function and a precision of ±12 seconds per day.

The Bracelet

The bracelet of this watch is an elegant complement that integrates seamlessly with the case. Crafted in stainless steel, it features 5 rows of links alternating between polished and brushed finishes. The rounded-end links make it flexible and able to conform to the shape of the wrist, offering a comfortable feel. This bracelet measures 20.95 mm wide at the lug end, tapering to 19 mm at the push-button deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. Yes, this is a genuinely water-resistant watch! Its sporty character makes it ready to take on aquatic adventures with you. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles water activities without complaint. Showering, bathing, and lap swimming are all fair game. That said, the Ocarat watchmaking experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers dry during immersion.
