The 42mm silver-tone stainless steel case houses an H-30 caliber movement with an impressive 80-hour power reserve, offering day and date functions, and is complemented by a matching silver-tone stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp. This timepiece is water-resistant to 10 bar (100m) and includes an exposed case back, making it a reliable and stylish companion for daily wear and aviation-inspired adventures.
Decide between quartz (accurate, low maintenance) or mechanical (craftsmanship, sweeping hand, requires servicing). Match the case diameter to your wrist size to avoid looking disproportionate. Available from $1,095.
