Slow Round 04 Watch

The Timepiece
Slow Watches has pioneered a radically different way to read the time with a single-hand dial. The brand believes it's time to focus on what truly matters - which is why the seconds hand has been eliminated, seen as unnecessary and stress-inducing. The Slow Round 04 embraces this philosophy with a 40mm stainless steel case housing just one single hand. A discreet crown sits at the 3 o'clock position - or rather, at 18 o'clock on this unconventional dial. A hardened mineral crystal protects the dial, and the case back is secured by 4 screws for 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial
This model's dial is all about understated elegance. Circular in shape, it features a deep black background contrasted by colored hour markers in Arabic numerals, paired with a minute track graduated in 15-minute increments. Note that this model displays time on a 24-hour scale. With the single hand at center, one glance at the 24-hour dial tells you exactly where you stand in the day. No logo appears on the dial - Slow Watches believes a quality product should speak through its design and features, not its branding.

The Movement
Slow Watches chose Switzerland and its legendary expertise in watchmaking. Powering the single hand on the dial is a Swiss GMT Quartz movement.

The Strap
Committed to quality components, Slow Watches fitted the Round 04 with a premium Italian calfskin leather strap - Italy being world-renowned for its mastery of fine leathers. This caramel-brown strap echoes the hour markers on the dial. With a 20mm lug width suited to men's wrists, it fastens with a silver-tone pin buckle.

Water Resistance
This model is water-resistant to 10 atmospheres - that's 100 meters. Built to keep up with you in the water, it handles everything from puddles to the pool without complaint. Shower, bath, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that while this timepiece is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers dry during immersion.
