World Time Date 5330 White Gold / Beijing 10th Anniversary

In Context

At 40 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 11.57 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. 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. 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.

5330G-011 is one of 3 executions of the 5330G base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a red dial and a white gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a gmt.
