Polaris Automatic Date Stainless Steel / Ocean Grey / Rubber

In Context

At 41 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 13.92 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. 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. 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. 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.

Q9068650 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a grey gradient dial with a stainless steel case.

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