Encased by the fixed, is the bright, sparse dial that decently shielded with glare proofed sapphire crystal which is not only scratch resistant, but also holds a beautiful clarity. Completing its elegance, a sturdy yet comfortable five row polished steel link bracelet is there to comfortably hug your wrist, and it is secured with a fold-over clasp that features safety flap for convenient fitting.

Despite of being non-Chronometer grade, this 30 jewels AN 14000 calibre’s accuracy is quite good for an automatic, performing at only a few seconds of daily variations. Under full wind, it has around 40 hours of power reserve. In addition, as the watch has an aesthetic see-thru case back, this mechanical movement can be observed whenever you feel like it.
Speaking of convenient, the eye catching blued-steel hour and minute hands on the guilloché dial feature SuperLuminova, while the applied silver tone hour markers have a luminous dot over so that they can easily read regardless the light conditions.
