Key Features
- Skeleton Dial Design – The dial is precision-cut to expose the internal mechanical movement, allowing you to observe the rhythmic interplay of gears, springs, and escapement with each tick. This open-heart design not only highlights the complexity of the movement but also adds a dynamic visual element that changes with every movement of the watch.
- Hand-Wind Mechanical Movement – Powered by manual winding, this movement requires regular winding to maintain operation, offering a hands-on connection to the timekeeping process. Unlike quartz or automatic movements, it relies entirely on human interaction, appealing to those who appreciate the ritual and authenticity of mechanical watches. The movement includes one product-specific battery required for operation, as specified in the technical details.
- Solid Stainless Steel Construction – The case and chain are both crafted from durable stainless steel, providing resistance to corrosion, scratches, and general wear. This material ensures long-term reliability and maintains its polished finish with minimal maintenance, making it ideal for daily use or special occasions.
- Step-Design Bezel – The bezel features a multi-tiered, stepped edge that adds architectural depth and visual interest to the watch’s profile. This design not only enhances the vintage-inspired look but also reinforces the structural integrity of the case, protecting the crystal and movement within.
- 14-Inch Stainless Steel Chain – The included chain is made from the same high-quality stainless steel as the case, offering a sturdy and balanced fit when worn through a pocket. Its length and weight are designed for comfort and security, ensuring the watch stays in place while adding a refined touch to your attire.
