How it works

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

Automatic

Automatic (self-winding) movement

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.

200m / 20 ATM

Water resistance

Rated to 200m / 20 ATM — a true dive-capable rating. It handles swimming, snorkeling and recreational scuba diving without a second thought.

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.

Nick the owner was very attentive in answering my questions regarding the delivery of the watch. I didn’t realize I ordered it from somewhere international, but nonetheless it arrived with no issues perfectly packaged. Thanks Nick!
