Key Features
- Swiss-Inspired Design – Directly influenced by the iconic Swiss railway clock, the watch features a crisp white dial with bold black numerals and a signature red second hand. This layout ensures instant readability from a glance, honoring a design that has guided travelers across Switzerland for decades. The minimalist approach eliminates visual clutter, focusing only on what matters: clear time indication.
- Brushed Stainless Steel Case – The 40mm case is made from durable brushed stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to everyday wear and subtle, matte finish. Unlike polished metals that show every fingerprint, the brushed texture maintains a clean appearance even with regular use. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, providing a balanced feel on the wrist without sacrificing durability.
- Intuitive Time and Date Adjustment – Setting the time and date is straightforward thanks to the crown positioned at 3 o’clock. To adjust the time, pull the crown to the first position and rotate it until the hands reach the correct hour and minute. For the date, pull the crown to the second position and turn until the desired date appears. Once set, pushing the crown back in secures the settings and ensures the watch continues running accurately.
- Comfortable Strap with Secure Buckle – The watch comes with a well-fitted strap designed for all-day comfort. The traditional buckle allows for precise adjustment, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. It stays securely in place during movement, making it suitable for active days or long hours at the office.
- Lithium Ion Battery Powered – Powered by a single lithium ion battery, the watch offers dependable performance with minimal maintenance. The efficient movement ensures long intervals between battery changes, and when replacement is needed, it should be handled by a qualified technician to preserve the watch’s integrity.
