Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement: At its core lies a high-performance Swiss automatic caliber that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. This eliminates the need for batteries and ensures consistent, reliable timekeeping as long as the watch is worn regularly.
• GMT Functionality: The GMT complication allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously—an essential feature for international travelers or anyone managing schedules across different regions. The fourth hand completes a full rotation every 24 hours, making it easy to read local and home time at a glance.
• 44mm Stainless Steel Case: Meticulously crafted from premium stainless steel, the case offers excellent resistance to corrosion and daily wear. Its substantial yet balanced 44mm diameter presents a confident presence on the wrist while maintaining wearability for most men.
• Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: Designed for practical use, the bezel rotates in one direction only—a safety feature critical for divers to prevent accidental overestimation of dive time. It also serves as a visual and tactile tool for tracking elapsed intervals during any activity.
• 80-Hour Power Reserve: Once fully wound, the movement continues running for up to 80 hours—over three full days—reducing the need for frequent rewinding, especially useful during short breaks in wear.
• Date Calendar Function: A cleanly integrated date window at the 3 o’clock position provides everyday utility without disrupting the dial’s symmetry, ensuring you stay on schedule with minimal effort.
• Water Resistance to 660 Feet (200 Meters): Thanks to its screw-down crown and reinforced case back, this watch is engineered to withstand underwater pressure, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving.
• COSC-Certified Chronometer Option: Select versions of this model feature movements that have undergone rigorous testing by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), earning chronometer certification for exceptional accuracy and reliability under real-world conditions.
