START YOUR WATCHMAKING JOURNEY WITH THE TOOL WATCH
An everyday watch, small in size but as robust as it's bigger brother in 39mm. This sturdy toolwatch combines a brushed case of stainless steel with a sapphire crystal and screw down crown to enable over 10 ATM water resistant (around 100m diving depth).
Completed by our matte diver dials with applied indices (lume-filled), this watch is ideal for anyone who likes the durability of a diver watch, but prefers a clean case without the dominant bezel. This watch is powered by the reliable and precise NH-35A automatic movement purely powered by the movement of your wrist.
