Centrally-positioned three hands is the most basic layout in watch industry. While all manufacturers are making this type of design, it is detailed-oriented craftsmanship and quality of parts that set them apart.
Roman numeral hours. The number 4 is IIII instead of IV. This is based on “symmetrical numeric design”, that is to say, I V X appear 4 consecutive times (I II III IIII, V VI VII VIII, IX X XI XII).
The minute marker is characterized by 12 metallic balls, each at 5-minute interval, with corresponding printed numbers 05, 10, 15…..50, 55, 60. Printed dots correspond printed lines between 5-minute intervals.
This multiple layers of hour and minute markers combination, plus complicated decorative pattern on the front dial, result in visual illusion of a larger watch than its actual size of 40.5mm in diameter.
Individually-made hour & minute hands with curved surface vs. cheaper watches’ mass produced hands with flat surface. At 6 o’clock is the date window.
On the case back there is shark image representing water proof and wave pattern showing respect for the time. A golden Swiss-made ETA2824 automatic movement with engraved words “25 jewels, Swiss made" is displayed clearly. The renowned ETA2824 is 26mm diameter, 4.6mm thickness. It has 25 jewels. 8 pieces are used in self-winding mechanism, the other 17 pieces are used in operating gear system. Frequency is 28800 vph. Power reserve is at least 38 hours. This movement is widely used in high-end watches.
“The beauty at first glance is only 1/7 of the entire masterpiece,” just as the classic Iceberg theory states, “more beauty is hidden deep undetected.”
