A fine-toothed crown sits to the right of the case, allowing you to set the hours and minutes whenever needed. A domed sapphire crystal shields the dial against the everyday knocks and scratches that come with daily wear. It features an anti-reflective coating for optimal legibility from every angle. The caseback showcases a transparent sapphire crystal window, offering a stunning view of the movement and its intricate gears. It is screwed down, ensuring 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This model features a lovely round dial that stands out with its textured design and grained pattern, its eye-catching cream color, and its refined lines. It delivers a beautiful look on the wrist and ensures clear, crisp timekeeping in any situation. Two leaf-shaped hands in gray sweep across the dial to track the hours and minutes at a glance. A slender gray seconds hand completes the trio, marking the passage of each second. The dial's perimeter is stamped with the "Japan Made" label and features a classic minute railroad track, divided into five-second intervals by small gray rectangles. Inside, twelve hour markers are individually hand-applied and rendered in classic Arabic numerals in the "Breguet" typeface. To finish, the brand name appears below 12 o'clock as a signature, while the collection name "Royal Smith" and the movement type are printed at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Equipped with a stop-seconds mechanism and celebrated for its outstanding quality and rock-solid performance, the Miyota 9039 caliber keeps this watch running flawlessly throughout the day, with hands that glide with exceptional smoothness. This automatic movement of Japanese origin features 24 jewels and offers a 42-hour power reserve. It operates at an oscillation frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivering precise and reliable hours, minutes, and seconds readouts in any situation.

The Strap

Crafted from cowhide leather, the two straps included with this stunning watch let you switch up your look in an instant. With their refined vintage charm, each one enhances the watch's timeless elegance with an exquisite modern touch - pairing effortlessly with every outfit in your wardrobe. The first strap is dressed in a deep black, while the second reveals a rich brown. With a lug width of 18 mm, both straps are crafted with the utmost care for a comfortable, pleasant wear every day. Each is fitted with a 316L stainless steel pin buckle that lets you put on and take off your watch with ease, keeping it securely in place around your wrist. The length is adjustable from 14 to 19 cm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. You can wear it in the shower every now and then, but to preserve the quality and accuracy of the movement, our watch specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from H₂O in the bath, pool, or sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact or submersion.
