Pocket Watch Savonette Yellow Gold / White

In Context

At 48 mm this is exceptionally large for something worn on a wrist, closer to a pocket watch given lugs. At 9.9 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 50 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 18,000 vph the seconds hand advances 5 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

980J-010 is one of 2 executions of the 980J base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a white dial and a yellow gold case.

Hand-wound savonette movement. Diameter of 38.65mm at a height of 3.8mm. Total of 137 parts including 7 bridges and 18 jewels.
