A slim gold-tone watch with crystals across the dial, around the bezel and down both edges of the bracelet. The centre of the bracelet is left plain gold, so the stones read as two bright lines running up the wrist rather than as a solid block. Case and Wrist Presence Round and shallow, with a narrow polished gold rim and the setting filling the bezel behind it. Because the case is thin and the lugs are short, this sits close to the wrist and slides under a sleeve more easily than most set watches. The crown is small and barely proud of the case side. Dial and Legibility Paved from the centre to the edge with the Bulova tuning fork above twelve and the name printed just below it. Applied gold batons mark every hour, tapered towards the centre and polished so they hold a straight line of reflection across a surface that scatters light in every direction. Slim gold hands and a fine seconds hand. It reads best in daylight, at a slight angle. Movement and Functions Quartz, with hours, minutes and running seconds. No date. On a fully paved dial a window would be the only dark shape in the design, and leaving it out keeps the surface whole. Bracelet and Fit A gold-tone bracelet with stones set through the outer rows and plain links down the centre, on a folding clasp, sized by removing links. Have them taken evenly from both sides so the clasp stays under the wrist; a set bracelet worn off-centre grinds its stones against desks and armrests. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a bright dress watch that is still slim enough for daily wear. It has the coverage of a much heavier piece without the bulk. Care and Maintenance Keep it dry. Gold-tone plating and set stones both dislike standing water, and chlorine is worse than plain water. Wipe the case and the underside of the bracelet after wearing, brush the settings with something soft, and never put it in an ultrasonic cleaner.
