Calatrava 3802/200J

In Context

At 33 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 25 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

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 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

3802/200J-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a white dial with a yellow gold case.

Self-winding movement with central seconds and date.
