How it works
What this watch’s key specs actually mean on the wrist.
A weighted rotor spins as your wrist moves, winding the mainspring so the watch never needs a battery. The seconds hand sweeps in a smooth glide rather than ticking. Wear it regularly and it keeps running; set it down for a day or two and you simply give the crown a few winds. It is the traditional, collectible heart of mechanical watchmaking.
The case measures 42mm across (excluding the crown) — a modern, present size with real wrist presence, at its best on medium-to-larger wrists. Case size is the single biggest factor in how a watch actually wears, so it's worth picturing against your own wrist.
Stainless steel is the all-rounder for good reason: tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to refinish if it ever picks up a scratch. 316L is the marine-grade alloy used across quality watchmaking — durable enough for daily life and smart enough to dress up.
This piece ships through our authorized dealer network. Any applicable customs or import fees are collected up front at checkout, so nothing extra is owed when your order is delivered.
