Designed for men's wrists, it measures 46 mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.10 mm, ensuring a comfortable fit for any occasion. The fixed bezel is secured by four screws and frames a mineral crystal covering the dial. A crown at 3 o'clock lets you adjust the hands and subdials at any time. Finally, this watch is water-resistant to 100 meters thanks to its screwed case back.

The Dial

This model features a captivating round dial that draws the eye with its multi-layered construction, original design, and clean detailing. With a 35 mm opening, it sports a gray background and a yellow chapter ring, perfectly complementing the case and strap. The result is a harmonious look with crisp, easy-to-read timekeeping at all times. At the center, two skeletonized hands in gray sweep smoothly - the one with an orange arrowhead tip marks the hours, while the other tracks the minutes. A slender seconds hand with a red tip completes the trio. All three point to a minute track graduated with black lines and black Arabic numerals, punctuated every 5 minutes by baton indexes in gray for quick hour recognition. Like the hands, these indexes feature a luminescent coating for reliable legibility in low-light conditions. The dial houses a date subdial at 3 o'clock, a day subdial at 9 o'clock, and a Moon phase display at 6 o'clock. The first two are half-displays, each animated by a gray hand with dual red tips, while the third features a star-filled blue background enhanced by a skeletonized gray disc. It is marked with the inscription "Day-Date", and the brand name and logo are applied below 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by the Miyota 6P20 caliber, ensuring smooth, reliable operation and allowing its hands and subdials to run with effortless precision in any condition. Renowned for its quality, performance, and dependability, this quartz movement of Japanese manufacture delivers accurate display of hours, minutes, seconds, date, day, and Moon phases. Its Sr621sw battery has a lifespan of 3 years.

The Strap

The strap paired with this watch is crafted in rubber and features a striking yellow finish, lending the whole piece an eye-catching appeal. It is adorned with ribbed lines along its center section, giving it a timeless character. It will wrap your wrist with refined elegance and exceptional comfort throughout the day. With a lug width of 28 mm, it delivers the perfect sport-chic touch to elevate any outfit. For a secure fit, the strap is fitted with a pin buckle in dark gray stainless steel, easy and safe to operate. The buckle measures 21 mm in width.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. Yes - this is a genuinely water-resistant watch! Its sporty personality means it's ready to dive into aquatic adventures alongside you. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles splashes without breaking a sweat. Showering, bathing, and casual swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know that while this model 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 not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
