Royal Oak 14790 Date Stainless Steel / Blue

In Context

At 36 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

14790ST.OO.0789ST.08 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue dial with a stainless steel case.
