It runs on the motion of your wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn eight-sided stainless steel case, brushed across the flats and polished along every bevel, so the shape reads differently with each turn of the arm. At the centre the dial is cut away: a black outer ring carries twelve applied steel batons, and inside them the automatic movement is left on view — bridges, gear train and the balance wheel turning under its bridge. A dial opened up like this only works if there is something behind it worth showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic self-winding, mechanical — no battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, octagonal, brushed flats with polished bevels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42 mm (excluding crown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skeletonised centre with black outer chapter ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndices:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twelve applied steel batons, wider double bar at 12 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skeletonised sword hour and minute, thin central seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, integrated link, no lugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ridged, at 3 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 ATM (30 m) — splashes and rain; not for swimming or showering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic, on an Integrated Steel Bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/quartz-vs-automatic-watches-whats-the-real-difference\"\u003eautomatic movement\u003c\/a\u003e is wound by the swing of your arm. Wear it and it keeps time. Set it down for two days and it stops, waiting to be picked up and turned.

At 42 mm across and 14.6 mm deep, this is a watch with weight, and it sits on the wrist like one. Water resistance is 3 ATM, or 30 metres: rain and a splash at the sink.
