Its modern, timeless timepieces suit every style and every occasion, blending precise Swiss artisanship with contemporary design for a truly captivating result. This handsome Service Watch P-42-MIC-B embodies that spirit - channeling the military character of 1940s watches. Its round case is crafted from surgical steel with a sandblasted finish and silver tone that together create a striking effect. At 42 mm in diameter and 12.50 mm in thickness, it's the ideal fit for men's wrists. A double-dome mineral crystal with sapphire treatment covers the dial, protecting it from everyday wear, while its anti-reflective coating ensures optimal legibility of the central indicators. These are set via the knurled crown positioned at 3 o'clock. Finally, the case back guarantees a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This stunning dial features a beautiful round face in beige that enhances its sporty yet elegant character. Its multicolor markers give it a captivating, modern feel. Hours and minutes are displayed by the two central hands, accompanied by a seconds hand sweeping across twelve indices rendered as Arabic numerals. Above them, a minute track punctuated by Arabic numerals at 10-minute intervals provides an easy-to-read layout. The overall simplicity of the dial makes for clear, fluid timekeeping. For low-light readability, the hands are coated with a Luminova layer.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Japanese automatic movement - the Seiko NH35 caliber, renowned for its quality and performance. It ensures flawless hand operation, delivering precise and reliable analog timekeeping. Equipped with 24 jewels, it oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 41 hours.

The Strap

This beautiful timepiece comes fitted with a khaki canvas strap. It features matching topstitching for a more refined, sophisticated look. With a lug width of 22 mm, it wraps elegantly around your wrist for a distinctive look. It fastens with a pin buckle for a secure, comfortable fit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 5 atmospheres - equivalent to 50 meters - this watch is your entry point into water-resistant timekeeping. While it's not designed for bathing, lap swimming, or scuba diving, you can wear it in the shower without worry. That said, our experts recommend keeping it dry whenever possible to protect its movement for years to come.
