Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed. Story & Heritage The appeal of this Incitus begins with colour. Its red fumé dial moves from a warmer, brighter centre towards deep burgundy shading, giving the surface a depth that changes with the light. The red seconds hand continues that colour theme, while the silver-tone markers provide crisp points of contrast. The case is equally expressive. Its broad cushion outline surrounds an oval dial opening, with radial brushing drawing the eye inward. Polished outer edges add another layer of reflected light, creating an engaging balance between texture and shape. The uncluttered three-hand arrangement allows these details to take centre stage. With no calendar window interrupting the dial, the substantial hour markers form a balanced frame around the hands, reinforcing the watch’s confident geometric character. Inside, the Swiss automatic movement draws winding energy from the motion of its wearer. Paired with a black rubber strap, this Incitus offers an appealing combination of mechanical interest, rich colour and distinctive vintage styling. Internal Reference Number - XTM 268
