In Context

At 38.5 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 16.77 mm it is very tall, and sits high off the wrist. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 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.

R4436512.B874 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It carries a black dial. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.
