It stands out with its dynamic details, functional design, and clean aesthetic, making it the perfect choice for the modern urban man who wants to make a statement. Wear it with anything, and trust it to keep up - built for the long haul and crafted for performance. Its round case measures 45.30 mm in diameter with a thickness of 15 mm. Comfortable to wear, it is crafted in stainless steel with a brushed/polished finish for a more eye-catching look. It is topped by a mineral glass crystal protecting the dial. The fixed bezel in black features hollow engravings and is marked with minute graduations in white Arabic numerals. A grooved, protected crown sits at 3 o'clock alongside two black pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock for setting the time and date and operating the chronograph. On the caseback, a screw-down case back ensures water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The case of this model features a striking round dial that perfectly complements the watch's dynamic, sporty look. Dressed in an orange hue and elevated by a triangular black panel, it exudes a timeless charm. The various time markers ensure a crisp, clear display of the time. At the center, two baton hands in gray indicate the hours and minutes. They point to a minute track graduated with dashes and Arabic numerals on the black and orange bezel ring. This surrounds black hour markers: the 12 o'clock marker is displayed as Arabic numerals, while the others feature a trapezoid shape. The hands and markers are coated with a luminescent layer for excellent readability in the dark. A date window with a white background is positioned at 6 o'clock, displaying the date in black Arabic numerals. Rounding out the display is a slender gray seconds hand with a red tip that tracks the seconds and totals the chronograph seconds when activated. It is joined by a 60-minute counter at 9 o'clock. The second counter at 3 o'clock provides the 24-hour function. Both feature a rotating disc with a red tip. Finally, the brand displays its name and logo along with the "Chronograph" label just below 12, while water resistance information appears at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Renowned for its high quality, efficiency, and exceptional performance, this model is powered by the Miyota 0S21 caliber. This quartz movement crafted in Japan runs on an Sr927sw battery offering a 5-year battery life. It drives the hands, counters, and date window with smooth precision at all times. Hours, minutes, seconds, date, and all chronograph functions are displayed reliably and accurately, day in and day out.

The Strap

For this model, the brand chose an orange rubber strap that reinforces the watch's sport-chic design while giving it a more timeless appeal. Known for its durability, flexibility, and versatility, it delivers absolute comfort in any situation and pairs effortlessly with every outfit. It adds a touch of modern elegance as it wraps gently around your wrist. Bearing the brand name on both sides, it features a width of 23 mm at the lug and is fitted with a stainless steel pin buckle measuring 21 mm in width. This buckle makes it easy to put on and take off while keeping everything secure and comfortable throughout wear.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 100 meters - that's 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece handles both black-tie events and water with ease. You can wear it in the shower, the bath, or even during a swim (yes, even an energetic one!). That said, our team of watch experts wants to make it clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure cleaning. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and keep the pushers and crown dry.
