This men's watch features a 40.5 mm diameter steel case with visible screws and protruding angles equipped with an integrated stainless-steel bracelet. The dial with a white background, struck horizontally, is protected by a sapphire crystal. Beveled hour markers and faceted rectangular hour and minute hands accentuate the seventies character of the model. Silvered and covered with luminescent material, they are energized by the central, red second hand, which runs along a clearly visible minute scale. Water-resistant to 330 feet (100 meters), the Cap Camarat does not deny its marine inspiration... it is fitted with a mechanical movement with Swiss automatic winding (Sellita). A guarantee of quality and precision, it beats to the rhythm of 28,800 oscillations per hour, has 26 jewels and a power reserve of 38 hours. Watchmaking enthusiasts will appreciate the transparent caseback - for the pleasure of admiring the workings of the mechanism.
