Beyond its analog display, this dial delivers the impressive perpetual calendar (QP) complication, allowing you to read all calendar information while accounting for annual irregularities such as the alternation of 30- and 31-day months and the 29-day February of leap years. It houses four sub-dials placed at each quarter hour, each serving a useful function in daily life. Those at 3 and 9 o'clock are driven by a skeleton hand with a red tip and display the date and day respectively.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 3 atmospheres, or 30m. This model is made for style, not for water adventures! It shines at cocktail parties and receptions - but aquatic environments are not its strong suit. It will handle rain, splashes, or dishwater without issue, but nothing beyond that. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath, and even more so while swimming or diving.
