Case

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

The case has 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, including hairline scratches and a few superficial scratches. Around the lugs and case back there are also signs of wear.

The silver-colored dial features a fine, regular guilloché pattern that adds depth to the dial.
