Whether you’re drawn to retro design or simply want a watch that stands apart from the ordinary, this reissue delivers character, comfort, and confidence with every wear.

Key Features

• Gold-Tone Tonneau Case: Measuring 43mm in length and 39mm in width, the barrel-shaped case is finished with polished surfaces on all sides, echoing the bold geometric lines of 1970s design. Its tonneau profile offers a unique silhouette that sits comfortably on the wrist while making a strong visual statement.
• Striking Burgundy Dial: The deep red dial serves as a dramatic canvas for dimensional floating hour markers that appear to rise above the surface, creating a layered, tactile effect. This design choice enhances depth and readability while reinforcing the watch’s retro-modern appeal.
• Polished Gold-Tone Handset: The hour, minute, and second hands are finished in matching polished gold-tone, ensuring clear contrast against the dark dial and maintaining visual harmony across the entire face. Their refined finish complements the case and adds to the watch’s cohesive, upscale look.
• Domed Acrylic Crystal: A period-correct domed crystal crowns the dial, offering a subtle curvature that enhances legibility and delivers a vintage lens effect. This type of crystal was common in watches from the era and contributes to the authentic reissue character, though it may require extra care to avoid scratches.
• Coin-Slot Battery Hatch: Located discreetly on the caseback, the battery compartment uses a secure coin-slot mechanism for easy access. This design preserves the watch’s clean lines and maintains the integrity of its retro aesthetic, while allowing for straightforward battery replacement when needed.
• Black Leather Strap: The watch is paired with a sleek black leather strap that balances the warmth of the gold-tone case. Durable and comfortable, the strap complements both casual and formal outfits, making the watch suitable for a wide range of occasions.
