This is a very beautiful rose-gold watch. The gold is not garish; the rose nuance blends with the natural color of the skin, and can slide gently underneath the cuff of a shirt. It is a subdued gentleman's watch. The dial is black and provides an excellent background with good contrast for the hands. The non reflective sapphire crystal is of high quality. The date window is at six o clock and is too small to be readable, or even noticeable for that matter. The overall size of the case is medium to large, but because the bezel is narrow, the watch appears larger and is very legible. The crown is at four o clock, and is not a screw down crown. The bezel does not ratchet and can move in either direction. Overall, the watch is a very elegant mix of a dress watch with elements of style of a dive watch.
