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.

44mm

Case size

The case measures 44mm 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.

Gold

Case material

Gold is the traditional precious-metal choice — warm, weighty and unmistakably dressy. It doesn't tarnish, and it carries a heft on the wrist that reads as quality the moment you pick it up.
