Smart Collection 39 Watch - South Africa

The Watch

Genius is a tribute to the unmatched talent of Gerald Genta, the legendary designer behind the most iconic watches ever created. Bold and relentlessly innovative, the brand pushes boundaries across its collections to deliver timepieces built for everyday wear. Genius crafts robust, versatile models with precise movements that suit every style. From the Smart Collection comes this stunning South Africa Watch with a unique and captivating design. It features a barrel-shaped case crafted from 316L stainless steel, finished in silver with polished and brushed surfaces for a sophisticated look. The case measures 39 mm in diameter, 49.80 mm lug-to-lug, and 10.60 mm thick - proportions that sit beautifully on men's wrists. An octagonal bezel with four screws on its lower half adds to the bold aesthetic. The flat sapphire crystal on top shields the dial from scratches and shocks, while an anti-reflective coating keeps every indicator easy to read. Set the hours, minutes, and date effortlessly using the T-shaped crown at 3 o'clock. Finally, the screw-down caseback ensures a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

"Unique" is the word that best describes this richly designed dial. It features a black color with a striped finish on the upper half, where a dotted minute track and oversized baton indices take center stage. The lower half reveals a square pattern alongside a baton-style minute track and slimmer indices marking the hours. Both the indices and the two central hands above them feature SuperLuminova BGW9 treatment for clear low-light readability. These brass hands display the hours and minutes, while the date window at 3 o'clock keeps you on track day after day. Finally, the brand's name is inscribed near 12 o'clock as its signature.

The Movement

This timepiece is brought to life by a Swiss-made quartz movement - specifically the Ronda 515S caliber - reliably driving the hands and date window. The movement is powered by a battery with a lifespan of 24 months.

The Strap

This model comes with a rubber strap in black. Flexible and highly durable, it delivers outstanding comfort on men's wrists. Each of the two strands features a different design, staying true to the brand's signature originality. The strap fastens with a butterfly deployment buckle measuring 10.80 mm in width, and has a lug width of 24.80 mm.

Water Resistance

At 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash, but prolonged water exposure is not its friend. You can wear it in the shower every now and then without worry, but to keep the movement performing at its best, our specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, no extended contact with water.
