Reverso Classic Medium Duoface Small Seconds Stainless Steel / Silver

In Context

At 25.5 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. At 9.2 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

2458420 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver guilloche dial with a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2017.

Hand-wound movement made up out of 160 pieces with hours/minutes/seconds on the front and second time-zone & 24-hour display on the back.
