A plain white dial, warm markers, and a strap in deep wine red with a high gloss to it. The colour is the decision here; everything else on the watch is kept as simple as it can be so the strap has room to do its work. Case and Wrist Presence The case is 32mm and round, with a thin bright bezel and a low profile that keeps the watch flat against the wrist. The lugs are short and hold a strap noticeably narrower than the case, so the dial reads as the widest thing on the wrist rather than the band. A small crown sits at three. There is nothing textured or stepped on the case; it is a clean ring around a clean dial. Dial and Legibility White and open, marked in a rose gold tone that matches the strap keepers and buckle. Slim hands run over the top from a central pinion. The eagle and wordmark are printed above centre. Warm markers on a white ground give a soft rather than a stark read, which is the trade this style of dial always makes: it is easy on the eye and needs a deliberate glance in poor light. Movement and Functions Quartz. Hours and minutes, with nothing else on the dial to set or correct. Pull the crown, set the time, push it home, and it runs until the battery is due. Strap Clasp and Fit Burgundy patent leather, glossy enough to catch light along its length, held at the lugs by rose gold-tone keepers and closing on a matching buckle. Patent finishes are easy to wipe clean and they resist water marking better than untreated leather, but the coating is what gives them the shine, and it will craze eventually where the strap folds hardest. Adjustment is through punched holes in fixed steps. Replacing the strap later is straightforward. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a watch with colour that still reads as formal. Burgundy is more forgiving than it sounds: it sits with black, brown, navy and camel without arguing. At 32mm it works on most wrists and stays under a sleeve. Care and Maintenance Wipe the patent strap with a soft damp cloth; do not use solvents, which will lift the finish. Keep the strap out of prolonged sun, since gloss coatings dull with UV. Store the watch flat with the buckle open so the strap is not held in a tight curve. When the battery goes, have a watchmaker fit the new one and check the case seal.
