How it works

What this watch’s key specs actually mean on the wrist.

Quartz

Quartz movement

A battery sends current through a quartz crystal that vibrates exactly 32,768 times a second, which the watch counts to keep time to within seconds a month — more accurate than almost any mechanical watch. Grab-and-go reliable: no winding, low maintenance, and years between battery changes.

100m / 10 ATM

Water resistance

Rated to 100m / 10 ATM — genuinely swim-ready. Laps, snorkeling and a day at the beach are all no problem; it just isn't a scuba watch.

Stainless steel

Case material

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.
