4 rules to select the right watch size.

Case diameter

1. Our watches are generally large, even 42MM. However, due to the style of the watch you might consider a larger size than you usually wear.

Quartz

A quartz movement in a watch is a type of electronic movement that uses a small piece of quartz crystal to keep time. When an electrical current passes through the crystal, it vibrates at a consistent frequency, which regulates the timekeeping mechanism in the watch. This makes the seconds hand tick once per second in a smooth and continuous motion.

Automatic

An automatic movement, on the other hand, is a mechanical movement that is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. As the wrist moves, a rotor inside the watch spins and winds the mainspring of the watch, which powers the timekeeping mechanism. The seconds hand on an automatic watch moves in a sweeping motion, making multiple small ticks per second, rather than once per second like a quartz watch.

In addition, our automatic watches feature an open case back showing the intricacies of our mechanical movements.

Skeleton dial

The open center of the dial shows the movement working beneath the hands. Around it, the dial is now frosted in the case color, with a luminous dot at every hour.

Automatic movement

Inside is the new Miyota 8N24, a Japanese automatic. The rotor swings with every move of your wrist and winds the watch, so there is no battery to change. Fully wound, it keeps running for about 42 hours after you take it off.

Sapphire crystal

The glass over the dial is now solid sapphire, an upgrade from the sapphire-coated mineral glass of the first generation. Sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, one step below diamond, which makes it hard to scratch.
