In addition, this reliable three hands battery powered calibre also offers small seconds at six, and a legible date display at four, which all of them can be easily set and adjusted using the crown and the alongside two pushers at the case right hand side.
Smartly showcasing the functionality, the timepiece sports a bold Black dial that is covered by a glare proofed sapphire that holds a beautiful clarity, while also decently protecting it from nicks and scratches.
