This watch expresses quality and elegant looks as well as precision craftsmanship. The automatic movement is a distinct character of this watch, which is tastefully and elegantly displayed on the face and backing. The stainless steel case is beautifully machined and polished to a mirror like and flawless finish. The two tone details can be seen on the case, face and even the crown. The watch face is protected by a sapphire coated mineral glass for scratch resistance. The face is semi skeletal displaying the mechanical movement. The classic gold tone hands and hour markers make is easy to read the time. A second and 24 hour dial add a touch more detail to the face without overwhelming the wearer. The ornamental backing displays the mechanical automatic movement that turns motion into energy. No winding or batteries needed, ever. I find the leather band to be very unique and practical. You set your band size/length with the buckle mechanism, and then you only have to slip your hand through and snap it with the unique clasping system. It is so easy to use and secure, and quick to get off. The band is very high quality leather and is meticulously finished and very durable for years of service. This watch is a quality piece of art that keeps time extremely accurately. I am very excited to have one and will proudly wear it for the rest of my life. This watch is an heirloom piece. It gets 5 stars and has earned them all.
