Royal Smith 90-012 Automatic Chronograph Grey Watch

The Watch

This watch is the perfect embodiment of contemporary horology with timeless elegance. Designed for the modern man, it showcases a refined aesthetic with a 316L stainless steel case prized for its exceptional durability. Its precise dimensions - a 37.00 mm diameter and 14.30 mm thickness - give it a commanding wrist presence while remaining understated. The classic round case shape pairs a combined matte and polished finish that catches the light with distinction. A screwed case back reinforces water resistance and meticulously protects the internal mechanism. Beyond aesthetics, this watch delivers chronograph functionality, complemented by two pushers and a screwed crown for precise, effortless adjustments.

The Dial

The dial of this watch, the true centerpiece, is a masterwork of elegance and precision. Its double-circle, sandblasted finish gives it a unique texture that plays beautifully with light, creating captivating visual depth. Silver Arabic numerals contrast harmoniously against the background, ensuring unmatched legibility. Every marker has been carefully applied for smooth, accurate timekeeping, displaying hours, minutes, and seconds via perfectly calibrated hands. The discreetly integrated date window adds practical functionality without compromising the dial's pure aesthetic. A domed sapphire crystal provides superior protection while delivering crystal-clear clarity thanks to its anti-fingerprint and anti-reflective coating, maximizing the wearer's visual experience.

The Movement

Powering this exceptional timepiece is a Japanese TMI automatic movement - a benchmark of performance and reliability. This refined caliber, driven by its rotor, beats at 28,800 bph (4 Hz), delivering high-quality timekeeping precision. Its impressive 45-hour power reserve is a genuine asset, ensuring extended autonomy between windings.

The Strap

The strap on this watch perfectly complements its sophisticated design. In stainless steel - with a brown leather strap included as a bonus - it delivers a visual palette spanning grey to brown, along with a variety of textures from the brushed and polished steel to the natural softness of leather. The wide links, available in two styles - flatlink or 5-link - wrap elegantly around the wrist, secured by a deployment buckle. The leather strap, with its pin buckle, offers a more relaxed alternative ideal for different occasions or personal preferences, while its 20 mm lug width ensures a perfect, comfortable fit.

Water Resistance

Water resistance is a key feature of this watch, offering water resistance up to 5 ATM. This ensures the timepiece performs flawlessly in the rain, in the shower, or during activities where splashes may occur.
