A ion plated case is what the Diesel UTP-1302PD-1AVEF is built around, in a compact case. It measures 35 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence \n This is a 35 mm case, worked in ion plated. The surface treatment is polished. At 35 mm this is a compact, elegant case that wears close to the wrist. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct. \n \n Date display – the current date at a glance \n Water resistance – 5 ATM (50 metres) \n Mineral crystal – protecting the dial \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet is stainless steel. Links can be removed by any competent jeweller or watchmaker for a precise fit. \n Water Resistance and Everyday Durability \n The watch is rated to 5 ATM, or 50 metres of static pressure. That covers rain, hand washing and a swim, but not diving or high-pressure water. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water. \n A mineral crystal protects the dial – harder than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, which is a sensible trade-off on a case this size. \n Care and Maintenance \n A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. A bracelet collects more than people expect. A soft toothbrush, warm water and a drop of dish soap along the links once a season keeps it looking new. \n Keep it clear of perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when you take it off. \n About the Brand and Ownership \n The appeal of a Diesel is that it is unmistakable. You are buying a design point of view rather than an anonymous case with a dial in it. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones. \n The Short Version \n What you are getting is a case that wears close and stays out of the way, a bracelet that gives it weight on the wrist. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Diesel \n Model / Reference UTP-1302PD-1AVEF \n Gender Women’s (35 mm case) \n EAN 4549526427701 \n Case Diameter 35 mm \n Case Material Ion plated \n Case Finish Polished \n Crystal Mineral \n Movement Quartz \n Strap / Bracelet Stainless steel bracelet \n Water Resistance 5 ATM / 50 metres \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
