Key Features

• Swiss Quartz Movement – Powered by precision Swiss quartz technology, this movement offers exceptional accuracy and long-term reliability, requiring only occasional battery changes for uninterrupted performance.
• GMT Functionality – A dedicated 24-hour hand paired with a rotating inner disc clearly distinguishes between day (white) and night (blue), enabling instant reading of a second time zone—ideal for tracking home time while abroad.
• Worldtimer City Disc – The navy blue outer ring lists 24 key international cities, allowing wearers to quickly reference local times across different regions by aligning the city with the current hour.
• Sapphire Crystal – The convex sapphire crystal is treated with an anti-reflective coating, minimizing glare and offering superior resistance to scratches, ensuring the dial remains clear and unblemished over years of use.
• Water Resistant to 100M – With a 10 ATM rating, this watch withstands splashes, rain, swimming, and snorkeling. It’s suitable for most water-based activities except high-velocity sports or scuba diving.
• Luminous Display – Arabic numerals and key hands are filled with white luminous material, providing clear visibility in darkness or low-light conditions such as airplane cabins or evening events.
• Premium Stainless Steel Construction – The 2-part case combines brushed and polished finishes for a dynamic look, while the matching 3-link bracelet includes a secure folding buckle with push-button release for easy adjustment and all-day comfort.
