The Watch

Founded in 2013 by Dario Spallone, the iconic D1 Milano brand continues to turn heads with sophisticated, elegant, and trend-forward watchmaking that has earned it a remarkable place in the industry. Every timepiece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail using modern metals and contemporary designs. Through its Square collection, the brand unveils new editions that blend contemporary style, elegance, and vintage flair across a vibrant, on-trend color palette that suits every wardrobe. Discover the stunning Volcanic Gray SQBJ08 watch - a head-to-toe anthracite look - and make it your new everyday companion. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetic codes of the 1930s with a modernized twist to match today's tastes, this timepiece is the refined and sophisticated addition that will elevate all your outfits and deliver a unique watchmaking experience. It features a sleek square case that sits gently and comfortably on the wrist. Designed for unisex wear, it measures 37 mm wide and 6.45 mm thick, weighing 112 g. It is crafted in PVD gray stainless steel with a subtly sandblasted finish that showcases its beautiful color. A sapphire crystal sits over the dial to protect it from everyday shocks and scratches. It features a blue anti-reflective coating for flawless readability from every angle. A crown at 3 o'clock lets you set the hours and minutes. Finally, this model features a caseback secured by four screws for a water resistance of 5 bar.

The Dial

The case reveals a charming round dial with a subtly sandblasted finish that draws every eye to your wrist, adding elegance and refinement to any outfit. It lends a retro-modern touch to all your looks while providing a clear and reliable time display. Its dark gray background is swept by two baton hands that indicate the hours and minutes. These are coated with a luminescent treatment for clear legibility even in low-light conditions. This "California" dial features engraved hour markers in various shapes, which is what makes it stand apart: a triangle at 12 o'clock, baton markers at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and numerals for the remaining hours - Arabic numerals on the lower half and Roman numerals on the upper half. The whole is signed by the brand name placed just below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

A high-performance quartz movement powers this timepiece, ensuring smooth, reliable operation. Specifically, it uses the Miyota Citizen 1L22 caliber, a renowned Japanese mechanism running on a battery with a 60-month lifespan. It delivers precise and dependable reading of hours and minutes at all times.

The Bracelet

This watch comes with a refined stainless steel bracelet that wraps elegantly around your wrist, offering a comfortable fit for any occasion. Easy to pair with any outfit, it features a subtly sandblasted finish and a PVD coating that gives it its striking dark gray color. It is composed of a single row of uniquely designed links that lend the overall piece a more sophisticated edge. This bracelet is the polished, elegant detail that elevates every look. Its hidden butterfly deployant clasp ensures a sleek aesthetic while allowing you to put it on and take it off with ease and confidence.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres - equivalent to 50 meters - this watch is your first step into water resistance. Not designed for bathing, swimming, or diving, it can handle the occasional forgotten shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to protect its movement for years to come.
