In Context
At 36 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. 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. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.
18039 Stella Red stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a red dial with a white gold case. Beyond the time it carries a day-date.
