Case

The round case is made of stainless steel and measures 36 mm in diameter.

The case features predominantly polished surfaces, with flowing lugs and a classic design. Due to the relatively modest diameter, this is a traditionally proportioned dress watch model.

On the case and especially the polished parts there are normal signs of use, hairlines and some shallow scratches. Around the lugs and case back there are also signs of wear.

Dial

The silver dial has a fine, regular guilloché pattern that adds depth to the dial.
