Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement: Powered by a high-performance Swiss automatic caliber, this watch eliminates the need for battery replacements while delivering consistent accuracy and smooth operation through kinetic energy generated by wrist motion. The movement is designed for longevity and reliability, requiring only regular wear or manual winding to stay active.
• 42mm Stainless Steel Case: The substantial yet balanced case size ensures visibility and presence on the wrist, while the premium stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and daily wear. Its 11mm thickness contributes to a sleek profile that slips easily under shirt cuffs, making it suitable for both business and casual settings.
• 80-Hour Power Reserve: Once fully wound, the movement can run for up to three days without being worn, making it convenient for weekend use or travel without losing timekeeping accuracy. This extended reserve reduces the need for frequent resetting and enhances practicality for those who alternate between multiple watches.
• Date Calendar Function: A practical date display at the 3 o’clock position adds everyday utility, helping you stay organized without compromising the watch’s clean aesthetic. The date window is subtly integrated into the dial, maintaining the watch’s classic symmetry.
• Water Resistance: Rated for 330 feet (100 meters), this watch is designed to withstand splashes, rain, and brief submersion. It supports active lifestyles, including swimming and snorkeling, though it is not intended for deep diving or high-impact water sports.
• Screw-Down Crown: Enhances water resistance and protects the crown mechanism from dust and accidental adjustment, contributing to long-term reliability. Properly securing the crown after setting time or date is essential to maintaining the watch’s water-resistant integrity.
• Timeless Design Language: Characterized by sleek lines and a classic dial layout, the Multifort M avoids fleeting trends in favor of enduring style that transitions seamlessly from office to evening wear. Its understated elegance appeals to those who appreciate refined aesthetics without overt branding.
