Key Features
- Chronograph Functionality – Equipped with a Miyota 6S20 Chronograph Quartz movement, this watch allows precise measurement of elapsed time with dedicated subdials, perfect for timing events, workouts, or everyday tasks. The chronograph function includes separate registers for seconds, minutes, and hour tracking, providing accurate stopwatch capability right from your wrist.
- Premium Sapphire Crystal – The watch face is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, offering exceptional clarity and long-term durability against daily wear and tear. Unlike mineral or acrylic glass, sapphire maintains its appearance over years of use, resisting fine scratches from keys, desks, or accidental contact.
- 316L Stainless Steel Case – Crafted from high-grade 316L stainless steel, the case provides excellent corrosion resistance and a polished, enduring finish that maintains its luster over time. This medical-grade alloy is known for its strength and hypoallergenic properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
- Vintage Racing Aesthetic – The design pays homage to 1960s motorsport chronographs, featuring a classic dial layout with contrasting subdials, bold numerals, and a tachymeter scale for speed calculations. The black and off-white dial variant enhances readability while reinforcing the retro racing theme, reminiscent of dashboard instruments from classic sports cars.
- Water Resistance – While specific water resistance ratings aren’t listed, the solid construction and sealed case design offer protection against splashes and light moisture exposure. It can handle rain, hand washing, or brief encounters with water, but is not intended for swimming or diving.
