Key Features

• Skeletal Dial with Rhodium-Plated Hands: The open-worked dial exposes the watch’s mechanical heart, allowing you to observe the rotating gears and oscillating balance wheel. Rhodium-plated hands provide high contrast against the dial, ensuring excellent legibility while adding a premium metallic finish.
• Grey Brushed Titanium Case: The 41 mm case is constructed from lightweight, corrosion-resistant titanium with a brushed grey finish that resists fingerprints and minor abrasions. Its slim 10.75 mm profile ensures a comfortable fit under shirt cuffs or on bare wrists.
• Black Rubber and Blue Alligator Leather Strap: The 22 mm wide band combines the comfort and flexibility of black rubber with the luxurious texture of blue alligator leather on top. This hybrid design offers breathability, durability, and a distinctive two-tone aesthetic.
• Automatic Movement: Powered by Zenith’s in-house automatic caliber, the movement winds itself through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. No battery is required, and the transparent caseback allows a full view of the rotor and movement architecture.
• Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: The front crystal is made from synthetic sapphire, one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, providing exceptional resistance to scratches from daily contact with surfaces like desks, keys, or walls.
• 100 Meters Water Resistance: Rated for 100 meters (330 feet), this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports, though it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water activities.
• Deployment Clasp with Push Button Release: The secure folding clasp features a push-button release for easy on-and-off use while preventing accidental opening during wear.
• Pull/Push Crown and Fixed Bezel: The crown allows for smooth time-setting and winding, while the fixed bezel maintains a clean, uninterrupted look around the dial perimeter.

Important Notes

While the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, it is not designed for deep diving or high-pressure water sports. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals. Regular maintenance by a certified watchmaker is recommended to preserve accuracy and longevity. The package includes the watch only; additional accessories or documentation may vary. For specific warranty details, customers are advised to refer to the manufacturer’s official policy. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and secured after setting the time to maintain water resistance.
