The new wristwatch with its hands under glass crystal emanates a sense of tranquillity and takes in natural light and gleams. Using tempered, mineral glass, the stainless steel case ensures robustness and water-resistance.

Practical straps are made with calfskin leather, which is tanned and treated with water-based dyes to give a sense of warmth, in contrast to the cold glass. The three-fold clasp prevents the watch from accidentally falling off the wrist during wearing and while taking it off. The clasp mechanism makes it easy to wear and also extends durability by minimising repeated bending and pulling due to wearing and removing the watch.
