Part of the Modern collection, this watch combines sleek minimalism with premium materials to deliver a refined yet daring aesthetic.

Key Features

• Black Ion-Plated Stainless Steel Case and Bracelet – The entire case and bracelet are crafted from durable stainless steel finished with a black ion plating, offering a sleek, scratch-resistant surface that maintains its luster over time. The bracelet features brushed center links that add texture and depth, enhancing its modern industrial appeal.
• Metalized Domed Edge-to-Edge Sapphire Crystal – The crystal extends seamlessly from the case to form the black bezel, creating a continuous, uninterrupted surface. Sapphire is one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, providing exceptional scratch resistance and long-term clarity.
• Minimalist Black Dial with Gold-Tone Accents – The dial features no hour markers, relying instead on angular gold-tone hands for time reading. A subtle gold-tone ring encircles the dial, adding contrast and refinement without disrupting the clean aesthetic.
• Push-Button Deployant Closure – The bracelet is secured with a push-button deployant clasp, ensuring a secure fit while maintaining a smooth, uninterrupted profile on the wrist. This closure type is both functional and elegant, reducing wear on the bracelet over time.
• 2-Hand Quartz Movement – Powered by reliable quartz movement, the watch displays hours and minutes with precision. The two-hand configuration reinforces the minimalist design, eliminating clutter and focusing on essential timekeeping.
• Contemporary Silhouette – The overall design flows from case to crystal to bracelet with a unified, streamlined form. Every element is shaped to support a modern, architectural look that stands out without being overly ornate.
