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.
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.
Fully wound, this movement stores about 24 hours of running time when it's off your wrist. Enough to comfortably carry it overnight without resetting the time. Power reserve is simply how long the mainspring keeps the watch going once you stop wearing it.
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.

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!
