Festina Men’s Titanium Watch (F20698-2)

The Festina F20698-2 is built around a titanium case and a blue dial. Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is worked in titanium. \n Reading the Dial \n The face is finished in blue. \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 Water resistance – 10 ATM (100 metres) \n Mineral crystal – protecting the dial \n \n Water Resistance and Everyday Durability \n The watch is rated to 10 ATM, or 100 metres of static pressure. In practical terms that covers rain, hand washing, showering and recreational swimming. It is not a dive watch, so leave it behind for scuba diving and keep it away from high-pressure water jets. 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 Who This Watch Suits \n \n Building a blue-led accessory wardrobe \n Daily wear that includes rain, washing up and the occasional swim \n Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted \n \n Styling Notes \n Blue is the most versatile dial colour after black – formal enough for a suit, relaxed enough for denim, and distinctive enough to be remembered. \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. Rinse the case in fresh water after a swim, especially in the sea, and dry it before it goes back on. \n 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 Festina 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 Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Festina \n Model / Reference F20698-2 \n Gender Men’s \n EAN 8430622830471 \n Case Material Titanium \n Dial Colour Blue \n Crystal Mineral \n Movement Quartz \n Water Resistance 10 ATM / 100 metres \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
