Description from the seller
This is a Bernhard H. Mayer Retrograde watch, a refined Swiss timepiece that combines a bold, modern style with classic complications. The watch makes an immediate impression with its characteristic "cushion-shaped" stainless steel case.
Main Features
• The Dial: A deep black dial with a layered architectural design. The striking, large Arabic numerals at the 12, 4, and 8 o'clock positions give the watch a contemporary and powerful look.
• Retrograde Complication: At the top of the dial (below 12), there is the day indicator. In a "retrograde" display the hand does not circle around; instead, it jumps back to the start (Monday) at the end of the week (Sunday).
• Big Date: At the 6 o’clock position there is a "Big Date" window, with the date clearly readable via two separate discs.
• Hands & Details: The hour and minute hands are skeletonized and equipped with luminescence for better readability in the dark. Above the date display sits the subtle text "Retrograde".
• Case & Strap:
• Case: Polished stainless steel with an ergonomic, gently curved profile.
• Strap: Black leather strap with a crocodile texture and contrasting white stitching, delivering a sporty-elegant finish.
Technical Impression
This model is typically powered by a high-quality Swiss quartz movement (often a Ronda movement). It is a watch for the enthusiast who loves unique visual features and a case shape that deviates from the standard round watches.
