Key Features

• Automatic Movement with 24 Jewels: Powered by the natural movement of your wrist, this self-winding mechanism delivers consistent, reliable timekeeping. The 24-jewel construction reduces internal friction, enhancing durability and smooth operation. With a 42-hour power reserve, the watch remains accurate even when not worn for a day and a half.
• Mother-of-Pearl Dial with Roman Numerals: Each dial is crafted from natural mother-of-pearl, resulting in unique color variations and a luminous sheen that changes with the angle of light. Silver-tone Roman numeral markers and hands with luminescent fill ensure clear readability in both daylight and low-light conditions.
• Sapphire Crystal and Protected Crown: The sapphire crystal offers exceptional scratch resistance, keeping the dial pristine through daily wear. The protected crown enhances structural integrity and contributes to the watch’s robust 100m water resistance rating.
• Exhibition Case Back with Movement Aperture: A subtle silver-tone ring on the lower half of the dial frames a window that reveals the intricate automatic movement beneath—offering a glimpse into the mechanical craftsmanship that powers the watch.
• Blue Quick-Release Silicone Strap: Designed for comfort and versatility, the soft silicone strap in a rich blue hue fits securely and feels great against the skin. The quick-release system allows for fast, tool-free strap changes, making it easy to personalize your look for different occasions.
• 100m Water Resistance: Rated for 100 meters (10 ATM), this watch can withstand splashes, rain, handwashing, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not intended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.

Important Notes

Each mother-of-pearl dial is unique due to the natural variations in the material. Light reflection creates a shifting iridescent effect, causing colors to appear differently depending on the angle and lighting—this is a natural characteristic and adds to the individuality of each watch. The manufacturer’s warranty is available upon request through customer service. To maintain optimal performance, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or magnetic fields. While the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-pressure water activities. The included packaging measures 4.57 x 4.06 x 3.07 inches and weighs 2.12 ounces, making it compact and travel-friendly.
