Both robust and precise, this vintage-inspired model will put the perfect modern finishing touch to every outfit, giving you a contemporary and chic look. Always ready for adventure, it will accompany you with great determination through all your outdoor activities, delivering an enjoyable watch-wearing experience. Its round case is crafted in quality 316L stainless steel with a hand-applied brushed/polished finish for a distinguished look. Its Hexaplex monoblock structure makes it highly shock-resistant and water-resistant. Designed for men, it measures 39.50 mm in diameter, 48 mm in length, and 13 mm in thickness, combining slimness and comfort. The dial is protected from daily impacts by a double-domed sapphire crystal. Scratch-resistant and featuring an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, it ensures optimal legibility from any angle. A knurled screw-down crown at 3 o'clock is used to set the time and date. Finally, this model features a screw-down case back, providing water resistance to 15 bar.

The Dial

The case of this watch houses an elegant round dial in black that adds depth and dimension to the overall design. Featuring a matte finish, it highlights the vintage appeal of this model with a touch of timeless refinement. Two baton hands coated with SuperLuminova "Old Radium" indicate the hours and minutes - even in the dark. This luminescent treatment is also applied to the tip of the slim seconds hand and to the hour indices presented as Arabic numerals, ensuring excellent legibility in both bright and low-light conditions. The outer edge of the dial features a minute track marked with white lines and Arabic numerals every 5 minutes, with the 60th minute in red. The indices are accompanied by small white Arabic numerals for reading the time in military format. A "Roulette"-style date window at 6 o'clock reveals red Arabic numerals on a white background on even days and black on odd days. Finally, the brand name is displayed below 12 o'clock as a signature, while opposite, the manufacturing origin is indicated, with the inscription "Shock-Resistant" just above.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Japanese automatic movement - specifically the caliber 8315. Chosen for its outstanding quality, performance, and unwavering reliability, it is supplied by the prestigious Miyota manufacture. Equipped with a stop-seconds device and beating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour - or 3 Hz - this 21-jewel movement drives the hands and date display with great fluidity, providing a precise and dependable readout of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Protected by "3D" rubber shock absorbers and decorated with a Côtes de Genève finish and blued screws, it delivers a 60-hour power reserve.

The Strap

Wolbrook offers its creation with a choice of two straps, each lending a unique character to the watch. Tapering from 20 mm at the lug end to 16 mm at the buckle, both straps are easily interchangeable and suit any occasion effortlessly.

The first strap offered by the brand is crafted in 316L stainless steel and proves to be the perfect choice for combining style, comfort, and durability. It features a rice grain structure that reimagines the jubilee bracelet design, giving the watch a chic, urban look. Its silver color pairs effortlessly with any outfit, while its brushed finish adds a timeless, understated elegance to your look. This 21 cm strap fits wrists up to 24.50 cm and offers 5 adjustment positions. It will delicately follow the contours of your wrist, held securely in place by a deployment clasp measuring 17.50 mm in width and 35 mm in length, equipped with a double push-button locking system.

Crafted from Italian calfskin leather, the second strap enhances the watch's vintage charm and brings a touch of elegance and refinement to any occasion. It features a camel finish and vegetable tanning for a more refined look. With brown stitching, it adorns your wrist with delicacy and softness, ensuring all-day comfort and wearability. The long strand measures 120 mm in length, while the short strand measures 75 mm. This strap is fitted with a 316L stainless steel pin buckle for easy use, keeping it securely fastened throughout the day.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 15 atmospheres, or 150 meters. This is a truly water-resistant timepiece! Its fun, sporty style makes it perfectly at home in any aquatic setting. From puddles to the pool, this watch handles splashes without complaint. Showering, bathing, and recreational swimming are no problem. However, our Ocarat watchmaking experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suitable for diving (professional or otherwise) and should not be exposed to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding the use of the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
