Design

This is a very clean and stylish watch, without a lot of details. There are only three colours here; black, silver and white.
When looking at the watch from the front, the beautiful black ceramic bezel is a nice touch together with the silver hands and hour-marks. Numbers 12 and 6 are also surrounded with a silver outline and a white colour on the inside.
All in all this watch looks very nice and stylish, and the black leather bands suit the design very well.

Case

The case is made of stainless steel, and measures 43.7 mm (incl. crown), which makes it a good size watch for most wrists. The shape is very clean, and all in silver colour, so there’s not much to say about it.
When looking from the front, most of the case is hidden by the ceramic bezel. The only visible parts are the corners and the crown guard.

The crown guard also functions as a guide for pulling out the crown. If you look at the edge of the crown you’ll see that it’s indented for easy access. This is a nice little detail.

Dial

Sapphire is covering the dial, it’s flat and flush with the top of the watch.
The colour of the dial is also nice, it’s a matte black finish, surrounded by an angled edge with minute markes in white colour.
Hours are marked with a white line, and a silver outline. The white part is the illumination you’ll see in the dark. There’s also a date wheel at 3 o’clock.
When adjusting the time you can feel a touch feedback from the crown, little clicks as you turn the crown. This is a nice detail that makes the watch feel more exclusive.
Silver case and black ceramic bezel combined with the matte black dial and silver details looks very nice indeed!

When it comes to lume, there’s something strange going on here… Have a look at the pictures below. Can you see something missing? 12, 6 and hour-marks are lumed, but it’s still a bit difficult to tell the time. The hands are not lumed at all…

Bands

The bands are made of black leather and looks (and feels)to be of good quality.
They are a bit thick closest to the case, but I have other watches with almost the same bands, and they take shape of the wrist after using them a bit, so it’s not a problem.
There are two band retainers. One with a fixed position, and one that can be adjusted, so the bands are held nicely in place while wearing the watch.

Conclusion

This watch is a bargain!
Getting a watch with stainless steel case, sapphire glass, Miyota automatic movement, ceramic bezel and leather bands for this price is amazing! The watch looks very nice, clean and classy.
A watch this size, it should fit most wrists nicely without looking to big or small.
My only complaint about this watch is the lume… What is the point of adding illumination to other details, but not to the hands?

Anyway, this is a very nice watch for the price, and I have no problem recommending it!
