De Ville Co-Axial 38.7 Big Date Stainless Steel / Silver / José Malhoa

In Context

At 38.7 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, 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. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

4849.40.32 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. It was a limited edition.

Self-winding Co-Axial Escapement movement with hour, minute, central seconds-hands and big date at 3 o'clock, rhodium plated finish. Co-Axial Escapement for greater precision, stability and durability of the movement. Officially certified chronometer
