Key Features
- Automatic Movement: Engineered for precision and reliability, the self-winding mechanism eliminates the need for battery replacements by harnessing kinetic energy from wrist movement, ensuring consistent timekeeping as long as the watch is worn regularly.
- Silver-Plated Dial with Leaf-Style Hands: The elegant silver-plated dial features subtle sophistication, enhanced by silver-tone leaf-style hands that offer clear readability while adding a touch of classic watchmaking artistry.
- Stainless Steel Milanese Mesh Band: Crafted from high-quality silver-tone stainless steel, the milanese mesh band provides a comfortable, secure fit with a smooth, flexible weave that conforms to the wrist. The fold-over clasp ensures easy wear and dependable closure.
- Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: The front crystal is made from sapphire, one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, offering exceptional resistance to scratches and maintaining clarity over years of daily use.
- 30 Meters Water Resistance: Rated for 30 meters (100 feet), this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, making it suitable for everyday activities like handwashing or light swimming, though not recommended for diving or high-impact water sports.
- Fixed Bezel and Solid Caseback: The fixed bezel maintains a clean, uninterrupted profile, while the solid caseback protects the internal movement and adds structural integrity to the 42 mm case.
