The dial is deep blue and flecked with tiny bright points, and the opening that shows the balance wheel is cut in the shape of a star. Put those two ideas together and you get a night-sky watch that does not have to explain itself. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 34mm, in rose gold tone with a domed polished bezel and a small fluted crown. Thirty-four millimetres reads as a proper watch on a slim wrist without dominating it, and the tall polished bezel gives the case a slightly jewelled profile from the side. The lugs are short and turn down sharply, so the bracelet starts hugging the wrist immediately. \n Dial and Legibility \n Deep blue with a fine speckled finish that scatters light like grit in glass — it looks flat in a photograph and alive in the hand. Rose gold Roman numerals mark three, six and nine with slim batons elsewhere, and the eagle and Meccanico signature sit at twelve. The star-shaped aperture sits just below centre with the balance turning inside it. Rose gold on dark blue gives good contrast, so this is a dial you read at a glance despite the fine hands. \n Movement and Functions \n Hours, minutes and a long sweeping seconds hand, with the balance visible through the star. There is no date, so the dial stays symmetrical and nothing needs correcting at month end. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A rose gold-tone stainless steel bracelet in a fine five-row pattern, narrow enough to keep the proportions right against a 34mm case and flexible enough to sit flat. Plated bracelets wear first at the clasp edge and the outer link corners, where sleeves rub. A properly sized fit cuts that rubbing down; sizing is done by removing links. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a dress watch with an idea in it. Blue and rose gold is a warmer, less expected pairing than white and rose gold, and the star aperture gives the watch a signature that survives being described over the phone. \n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry — off for hand washing, swimming and showering. Put it on after perfume and hand cream, which are what actually dull plated finishes. Clean with a dry soft cloth, never a polish. Keep it out of long spells of direct sun, which fades coloured dials over years. \n Technical Specifications \n Case diameter 34mm Case shape Round Case tone Rose gold Dial Speckled blue, Roman numerals, star-shaped balance aperture Bracelet Rose gold-tone stainless steel Collection Meccanico Reference AR60043 \n Buying With Confidence \n Covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
