“I fell in love with this watch having spotted it in a magazine a year ago, but my search proved fruitless as it is very hard to locate, but I am now the proud owner thanks to The Watch Hut. I have since discovered that there are a few others selling this watch out there, but I challenge you to find it at The Watch Hut's price, which is why I decided to buy from them.

If the watch is left in the dark it will power down to conserve energy for up to 6 months and automatically reset to the correct time as soon as it senses light again. As the main body of the watch is totally sealed, the watch can be used in water up to 20 Bar. I am very happy with my purchase and like the admiring g”
