The sub-dials provide clear tracking of seconds, minutes, and hours, ensuring you stay on schedule.
- Stainless Steel Case: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the case offers excellent resistance to corrosion, scratches, and daily wear. Its polished finish maintains a sleek, professional look over time, even with frequent use.
- Black Patterned Dial: The textured black dial adds visual depth and sophistication, enhancing readability while complementing the watch’s sporty character. The pattern subtly catches light, giving the face a dynamic appearance under different lighting conditions.
- Luminous Hands: Designed for low-light visibility, the watch hands are coated with luminous material that glows in the dark. This feature ensures you can easily read the time in dimly lit rooms, at night, or during early morning hours without straining your eyes.
- Calendar and Second Hand: In addition to standard hour and minute hands, this watch includes a dedicated second hand for precise time tracking and a date display window for added convenience. The calendar function helps you stay organized, whether you’re managing appointments or tracking important dates.
- Mineral Crystal Face: The dial is protected by scratch-resistant mineral crystal, which helps prevent everyday scuffs and maintains clarity. This durable covering ensures the watch face remains legible and unblemished, even after extended wear.
- Screw-Back Case: The screw-down case back enhances water resistance and provides a secure seal against dust and moisture. This design helps protect the internal movement, contributing to the watch’s long-term reliability.
