Object description

Case and Bracelet Construction

The watch features a stainless steel case measuring 25mm in diameter. The design is characterized by the integration of the lugs with a matching stainless steel bracelet, creating a unified visual profile. The crown, situated on the right side of the case, is topped with a blue cabochon.

The bracelet consists of rectangular brushed links that follow the straight lines of the case. The use of stainless steel is cited as the primary material for both the case and the bracelet, contributing to the appearance of the object.
