Rose gold on the outside, silver on the dial. The contrast is the whole idea here: warm metal framing a cool sunray face, with crystals doing the work at both edges, around the bezel and scattered on the dial itself. Case and Wrist Presence A barrel case twenty-one millimetres wide, waisted at the sides so it follows the curve of the wrist. The crystal-set bezel is set in two straight runs top and bottom and follows the curve down each side, which is more work than a round bezel and it shows. The case sits low and the whole watch weighs very little. Dial and Legibility Silver-white with a sunray brush radiating from the centre, so it goes bright and then pale as the wrist turns. Rose gold Roman numerals mark nine, three and six, and pairs of small crystals sit where the other hours would be. The hands are fine rose gold batons. Against a light dial, warm metal hands read better than steel would, which is why they are the colour they are. Movement and Functions Quartz, hours and minutes. The crown is a small fluted rose gold knob with a dark cabochon on the end, at three. There is no date and no seconds hand, so the dial stays uninterrupted. Bracelet and Fit A fine multi-row rose gold-tone link bracelet, made up of narrow segments so it moves like a chain rather than a solid band. Sizing is by link removal. Get it snug: a very light watch on a loose bracelet ends up face-down on the wrist more often than not. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants rose gold but does not want a rose gold dial to go with it. The silver face keeps the watch legible and stops the whole piece reading as one solid block of colour. Care and Maintenance The rose gold finish is plated and wears first at the clasp and the outer edges of the links. Keep perfume, hairspray and chlorinated water away from it, rinse off perspiration and dry thoroughly. Brush dust out from between the bezel stones with a soft brush. Ask for a new gasket whenever the battery is replaced.
