Watch Review
The amount of the mechanism that’s on show with this dial design is stunning. I love that youcan view the balance wheel, main spring and more. The watch has a vintage style to it with its antique gold PVD plating and the small Roman numerals on the outer ring. The hands also keep to this vintage finish with their rather ornate design. The casing itself is made of a hypoallergenic and tarnish resistant stainless steel.
Type Of Crystal
Protecting the dial and rear of the watch is a mineral crystal glass, this type of glass is affordable and offers a good level of scratch and knock protection. It also offers a decent level of shatter resistance in case you ever accidentally happen to drop your timepiece.
Watch Movement
Powering the watch is a quality Japanese automatic self-winding movement. Automatic movements are powered by the movement of the wearer’s wrist and never require a battery change.
Watch Size
The watch is classed as a men’s large. It has a 42mm casing dimater along with a thickness of 10mm. This is a fair common size for men at the moment, and likely to suit most people.
Strap
the strap itself is made of a soft genuine leather strap that offers excellent comfort. It measures 20mm wide and is a dark tan colour. It fastens with a typical buckle style glasp that’s also PVD gold plated to match the casing.
Extra features
One of my favourite features of these Rotary watches is the exhibition caseback. You’ll see in the picture below that you’re able to take a brilliant look at the inner workings of this stunning watch.
