Key Features

- Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Case: Crafted from durable stainless steel with a polished silver-tone finish, the 41 mm case offers strength and resistance to corrosion. Its solid construction protects the internal mechanics while maintaining a sleek, masculine profile.
- Blue Fabric Band: The 22 mm wide blue fabric band provides comfort and breathability, making it ideal for extended wear. Its rugged yet stylish design complements the watch’s sporty character and adds a pop of color that stands out on the wrist.
- Automatic Movement: This self-winding mechanism powers the watch through natural wrist motion, eliminating the need for battery replacements. It ensures consistent accuracy and reflects traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship.
