Master Control Date Stainless Steel / Sector Dial

In Context

At 39 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 8.5 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

1548530 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver sunburst dial with a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2017.

Autoamatic movement with hours, minutes, seconds and date. 219 components; power reserve 38 hours.
