The round 31-day power reserve indicator window is located to the right of the solid silver 45.9mm diameter dial. Although the diameter is large, the engineers carefully design the arc according to ergonomics and it is quite comfortably. The last compartment of the power reserve indicator is red, reminding the owner of the time when the watch is on the chain.The large date display is set on the left and it is symmetrical to form a harmonious and balanced visual effect.
The sapphire crystal glass bottom cover can reveal the L034.1 movement (composed of 406 parts) and people might appreciate a special winding device that uses a screw to wind up.
