Key Features

• Grey Dial with Luminous Markers: The understated grey dial enhances legibility while adding a sophisticated touch to the overall design. Key hour markers and hands are treated with luminescent material for visibility in low-light conditions.
• Stainless Steel Construction: Both the case and bracelet are crafted from durable silver-tone stainless steel, offering resistance to daily wear and corrosion. The material maintains its luster over time and withstands exposure to moisture and sweat.
• 100-Meter Water Resistance: Rated for 100 meters (330 feet), this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It’s built to handle water exposure during everyday activities and light water sports.
• Fixed Bezel Design: The fixed bezel provides a clean, streamlined profile while reinforcing the watch’s structural integrity. Its unidirectional style aligns with classic sports watch functionality.
• Fold-Over Clasp with Safety Release: The bracelet features a secure fold-over clasp enhanced with a safety release mechanism. This prevents accidental opening and ensures the watch stays firmly in place during movement.
• Compact 40mm Case: With a case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 11.5 mm in thickness, the watch offers a balanced presence on the wrist—substantial enough to stand out without being overly bulky.

Important Notes

While this watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, it is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Prolonged exposure to saltwater or chlorine should be followed by rinsing with fresh water to preserve the finish. The automatic movement requires regular wear to stay wound; if not worn for several days, it may need manual winding to resume accurate timekeeping. A lithium metal battery is included for initial setup, though the watch operates primarily through kinetic energy. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and servicing.
