Whether you’re navigating a boardroom, exploring the outdoors, or enjoying water-based recreation, this chronograph offers the dependability and aesthetic confidence expected from a luxury Swiss watch.

Key Features

• Automatic Movement – The heart of this watch is its self-winding mechanical caliber, which harnesses the natural motion of your wrist to maintain power. This eliminates the need for battery changes and ensures consistent, accurate timekeeping as long as the watch is worn regularly. Automatic movements are prized for their craftsmanship and longevity, making this a watch built to last generations.
• Copper Dial – The warm, metallic copper dial creates a striking visual contrast against the polished steel elements, offering both elegance and high legibility. This unique finish catches the light beautifully and adds a sophisticated, modern edge that sets it apart from more conventional designs.
• 200-Meter Water Resistance – Rated for depths up to 660 feet, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and surface water sports. While not a professional diving watch, its robust sealing and construction make it more than capable of handling aquatic environments with confidence.
• Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel – A critical tool for timing elapsed intervals, the bezel turns only counterclockwise to prevent accidental overestimation of time—a safety feature especially useful during dives or timed activities. Its precise, tactile clicks ensure accurate measurement with each adjustment.
• Fold Over Clasp with Push Button Release – The secure clasp system allows for easy, one-handed operation while ensuring the watch stays firmly in place during movement. The push-button mechanism adds an extra layer of safety, reducing the risk of accidental opening.
• 42mm Stainless Steel Case – With a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 15.1 mm, the case strikes a balance between a bold, masculine profile and everyday wearability. It’s substantial enough to make a statement but remains comfortable for extended use.
• Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Band – The integrated bracelet mirrors the case’s polished finish, delivering a cohesive, high-end look. Its solid construction and ergonomic design provide a snug, comfortable fit across a range of wrist sizes.
