Key Features

• Automatic Movement with Manual Winding: Powered by the reliable 4R36 caliber, this watch self-winds with the motion of your wrist but can also be manually wound if needed. No battery required—just consistent wear or occasional hand-winding keeps it running accurately.
• GMT Hand Function: Features a dedicated hand to track a second time zone, making it practical for frequent travelers or those coordinating across different regions. The 24-hour scale allows for easy distinction between AM and PM in the alternate zone.
• Charcoal Dial with Luminous Markers: The dark gray dial offers a sleek, modern appearance with high-contrast Arabic numeral markers and luminous LumiBrite treatment on the hands and indices for clear visibility in low-light conditions.
• Stainless Steel Case and Mesh Bracelet: Crafted from durable stainless steel with a silver-tone finish and a see-through case back, showcasing the intricate movement inside. The matching mesh bracelet provides a comfortable, breathable fit with a secure clasp.
• 100M Water Resistance: Rated for water resistance up to 100 meters (10 bar), this watch can withstand splashes, rain, swimming, and snorkeling, though it is not suitable for scuba diving or high-pressure water sports.
• Hardlex Crystal: Features a curved Hardlex mineral crystal that resists scratches and impacts while offering clear visibility from multiple angles. It balances durability with optical clarity for everyday wear.
• Day/Date Calendar: Includes a practical day and date display at the 3 o’clock position, helping you stay organized without adding unnecessary complexity to the dial layout.

Important Notes

While the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, it should not be used for scuba diving or prolonged underwater activities. Avoid pressing buttons or operating the crown while submerged. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth helps maintain the finish. The automatic movement may require occasional servicing every 3–5 years depending on usage.
