Festina Men’s 42mm Ss Ip Gold Watch (F20738_3)

A ss ip gold case is what the Diesel F20738_3 is built around, in a generously sized case. It measures 42 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence \n Case diameter is 42 mm, worked in ss ip gold. At 42 mm it lands in the range most men’s wrists take comfortably, and it will sit under a cuff. \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 Time only – hours, minutes and seconds, nothing more \n Water resistance – 5 ATM (50 metres) \n Mineral crystal – protecting the dial \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The strap is ss gold. \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 None of the care below is onerous. It is the difference between a watch that ages well and one that simply gets old. 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. Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish. \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. Basic care goes a long way – keep it clear of solvents and perfume, rinse the strap if it has been in salt water, and store it somewhere dry. \n The Short Version \n What you are getting is an everyday size that still has presence. 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 F20738_3 \n Gender Men’s (42 mm case) \n EAN 8430622846106 \n Case Diameter 42 mm \n Case Material Ss ip gold \n Crystal Mineral \n Movement Quartz \n Strap / Bracelet Ss gold \n Water Resistance 5 ATM / 50 metres \n Country of Origin ES \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
