The rich blue color against silver stainless steel creates visual drama that catches light from every angle. This isn't subtle – it's designed to be noticed.
Premium Stainless Steel Case
Polished 316L stainless steel provides durability and shine that rivals watches costing 10x more. The multi-piece case construction ensures structural integrity.

Features That Set It Apart
✓ AUTHENTIC AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT
Self-Winding Technology
Every movement of your wrist winds the mainspring. Wear it regularly and it never needs a battery – just like luxury Swiss watches.
Precision Engineering
21-jewel movement with balanced rotor provides smooth, accurate timekeeping. Accuracy improves during the break-in period.
Mesmerizing Display
Watch every gear tooth engage, the escapement oscillate, and the balance wheel beat at 6 times per second. It's mechanical meditation on your wrist.
✓ STUNNING VISUAL DESIGN
Blue Skeleton Dial
The blue finish on internal components creates depth and visual interest. Different lighting reveals new details every time you glance down.
Silver Case Contrast
Polished stainless steel case provides the perfect backdrop for the blue mechanics. The contrast is sophisticated yet bold.
Clear Readability
Despite the open-worked design, the time remains easy to read with clearly defined hands and hour markers.
✓ BUILT FOR DAILY WEAR
Scratch-Resistant Crystal
Hardened mineral glass protects the dial from daily impacts. No more paranoia about scratching your watch face.
Solid Link Construction
Heavy, substantial bracelet with no hollow links. Each link is solid steel that won't stretch or feel flimsy over time.
Secure Deployment Clasp
Double-locking clasp ensures your watch stays on your wrist. No butterfly clasps that pop open unexpectedly.

Common Questions
Q: Is this a real automatic watch or just styled to look like one?
A: 100% genuine automatic movement. No batteries, ever. The gears you see moving are actually powering the watch.
Q: How long will it run without wearing it?
A: Approximately 40 hours when fully wound. If you don't wear it for 2+ days, manually wind it 20-30 times via the crown.
Q: Do I need to wind it every day?
A: No. Wearing it normally throughout the day keeps it wound automatically. Manual winding is only needed after extended periods of not wearing or resting.
Q: Is the blue dial coating durable?
A: Yes. The blue finish is applied during manufacturing and won't fade or wear off with normal use.
Q: Will this watch keep accurate time?
A: Automatic watches are accurate to ±30 seconds per day, which is excellent at this price point. Accuracy improves after the initial break-in period.
