Key Features
- Blue Dial with Luminous Markers – The rich, sunburst-effect blue dial offers excellent contrast and clarity, enhanced by luminous hour markers and hands that glow in low-light conditions. This ensures easy readability whether you’re checking the time at dusk or beneath the surface of the water.
- 39mm Stainless Steel Case – Measuring 39mm in diameter and just 11.9mm thick, the case is designed for a comfortable, proportional fit—particularly well-suited for smaller to medium-sized wrists. Its compact profile maintains a strong presence without feeling bulky, making it ideal for all-day wear.
- Automatic Movement – Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, this watch relies on the kinetic energy generated by your wrist’s motion. This traditional approach to timekeeping appeals to enthusiasts who value horological craftsmanship and long-term reliability over battery-powered convenience.
- 200-Meter Water Resistance – Rated for depths up to 200 meters (660 feet), the watch is built to handle serious water exposure. This level of protection makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving, giving peace of mind during aquatic activities.
- Uni-directional Rotating Bezel – The bezel turns only in a counterclockwise direction, a critical safety feature for divers. This design prevents accidental overestimation of dive time by ensuring any unintended movement reduces the indicated elapsed time, not increases it.
- Blue Soft Leather Band with Fold-Over Clasp – Crafted from supple blue leather, the strap offers a comfortable fit against the skin and develops a unique patina over time. The fold-over clasp provides secure closure, preventing accidental opening during wear.
