Reverso Squadra Hometime Stainless Steel / Silver / Alligator

In Context

At 35 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. At 14 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. 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. 45 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.

7008420 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2006.

Self-winding movement with small seconds, date, second time zone, and day / night indicator. It consists of 234 pieces including 29 jewels and was introduced with the 2006 Reverso Squadra Hometime.
