Key Features
- COSC-Certified Chronometer Movement: At its core lies a Swiss automatic movement that has passed the stringent testing standards of the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC). This certification guarantees exceptional accuracy and reliability under real-world conditions, ensuring your timekeeping remains precise even in demanding environments.

- Date Calendar Function: A cleanly integrated date window provides everyday practicality, helping you stay organized without disrupting the dial’s classic symmetry and readability.
- Superior Resistance to Magnetism: The movement is designed to withstand magnetic fields commonly encountered in modern environments—such as those from smartphones, laptops, and electronic devices—ensuring consistent performance and longevity.
