A disc of close-set crystals fills the middle of a navy dial, ringed by rose gold numerals and batons, in a thin rose gold-tone case on a matching bracelet. There is no bezel to speak of, so the dial runs almost to the edge of the watch. Case and Wrist Presence Thirty-two millimetres, round, with a knife-thin bezel and a case that is noticeably shallow. Nearly all of the diameter is given over to the face, which is why this reads larger on the wrist than the number suggests. The lugs are short and turn down, so the watch sits flat and clears a shirt cuff without catching. Dial and Legibility Deep navy blue around the outside, brilliant white crystal in the centre. Rose gold Roman numerals mark the quarters, applied batons handle the hours between. The hands are long, fine and rose gold-toned, and they read most clearly where they cross the navy ring; over the pave they compete with the sparkle. In practice you take the time from the angle of the hands. Movement and Functions Quartz. Hours and minutes only, with a small rose gold crown at three. No date window interrupts the pave and there is nothing to correct at the end of February. Bracelet and Fit A rose gold-tone bracelet built from many narrow links, more chain than band, so it folds over the wrist bone instead of standing off it. Sizing is by link removal, done at a jeweller. On a broad, thin case the fit is worth getting right: too loose and the watch tips, and a tipped watch with a crystal centre catches light in your eyes rather than showing you the time. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a dress watch with a strong single idea. Navy and rose gold is a quieter pairing than black and gold, and the pave disc gives it evening presence without a stone-set case. Care and Maintenance Rose gold plating wears at the clasp first. Rinse off perspiration, dry between the links, and keep the watch out of chlorinated water and away from perfume. Clean around the crystals with a soft brush; a cloth pulls threads on set stones. Gasket check at every battery change.
