Traditionnelle Self-Winding Small Seconds White Gold / Silver

In Context

At 38 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 8.02 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 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

87172/000G-9301 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a white gold case.

Introduced in 2007, caliber 2455 is a self-winding movement with date at 3 and small seconds at 9. It is hallmarked with the Geneva seal.
