Master Ultra Thin Small Second

In Context

At 38.5 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. The 7.6 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. 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. 43 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.

1278420 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 2014.

Automatic movement with hours, minutes and seconds. 223 components; height 3.98mm.
