Exterior & Aesthetic Design
This Santos-style watch inherits the classic square case design of the collection. The fine steel case and bracelet create a refined metallic appearance, while the silver pearlescent dial provides elegant visual depth. Combined with Roman numeral markers, blue sword-shaped hands, and the distinctive crown design, the watch delivers a recognizable luxury-inspired aesthetic suitable for formal and daily occasions.
Movement & Practical Performance
Powered by an automatic self-winding mechanical movement, the watch provides reliable daily timekeeping performance without requiring manual winding. The bracelet adjustment system allows a comfortable fit for different wrist sizes, while the quick strap replacement design provides flexibility for different wearing styles.
The watch is designed for normal daily wear and only provides limited protection against moisture. It is not waterproof and should only be exposed to small amounts of daily water contact, such as minor splashes, hand washing, or light rain. The watch must not be soaked in water, used for swimming, diving, or other underwater activities.
Before any possible water exposure, make sure the crown (time-setting knob) is completely pushed back and securely tightened if the watch model includes a screw-down crown locking design. Showering, sauna use, and hot spring bathing are strictly prohibited, as hot steam and high temperatures may cause the waterproof gasket to deform and increase the risk of water entering the watch.
The internal waterproof gasket naturally wears over time. For better daily protection, it is recommended to replace the waterproof gasket approximately every two years through professional watch maintenance service.
