FAQ
1. Why does this watch not include a date window?
The no-date design keeps the dial symmetrical and reduces visual distraction. It is intended for customers who prefer fast time reading and a simpler traditional tool-watch appearance.
2. Are the 3, 6, and 9 numerals luminous?
Yes. The applied Arabic numerals are filled with blue Chromalight-style luminous material. The surrounding markers and hands are also luminous to support low-light readability.
3. Is the approximately 137.26g weight suitable for daily wear?
The weight provides a solid feel without being excessively heavy for most users. Correct bracelet sizing helps distribute the weight evenly and improves comfort during extended wear.
4. Does the smooth bezel rotate?
No. The polished domed bezel is fixed and does not provide a timing function. Its purpose is to create a clean profile and frame the high-contrast dial.
