BERNY 2623M Classic Day-Date Watch — Miyota 2405, 38mm, Arabic Numerals, Blued Hands

BERNY 2623M Classic Day-Date Watch — Miyota 2405, 38mm, Arabic Numerals, Blued Hands

The BERNY 2623M is a 38mm Miyota 2405 quartz day-date watch — dual-language day and date window (English and Chinese), bold Arabic numerals, textured dial, stainless steel case at 9.5mm and 49g, genuine leather strap, stainless steel pin buckle, mineral glass, 3ATM water resistance. Two variants: black dial / black strap (2623M-A) and white dial / brown strap with blued steel hands (2623M-B).

Key Specifications

Variants — Two Configurations

2623M-A (black dial / black strap): Black textured dial with white Arabic numerals, silver-tone hands, black crocodile leather strap. High contrast, formally understated — the more versatile of the two for business and evening wear.

2623M-B (white dial / brown strap): White patterned dial with black Arabic numerals, blued steel hands, brown leather strap. The warm brown strap and blued hands create a specific vintage dress character.

Miyota 2405 — Day-Date Quartz

The Miyota 2405 is a day-date quartz caliber — it displays both the current day of the week and the date simultaneously. This is a step up from the 2035 (used in the 2694M) which shows date only. The 2405 battery is SR626SW with approximately 3-year life. Accuracy is rated at ±20 seconds/month — slightly wider than the 2035’s ±15 seconds/month.

Dual-Language Day Display

The day window shows the weekday in two languages simultaneously — English and Chinese. For buyers in international work environments or with bilingual daily use, the dual-language display provides quick reference in either language. The date shows as a number (1–31) in the standard format.

Blued Steel Hands — 2623M-B

The white dial variant (2623M-B) uses blued steel hands — hands that have been heat-treated through a quenching process to produce a blue-violet oxidation on the steel surface. The blue tone contrasts against the white dial and provides clear time-reading legibility. Blued hands are associated with traditional European dress watchmaking — clock and pocket watch makers historically blued hands both for corrosion resistance and for visual distinction against pale dials.

On a watch at this price point the blued finish may be a surface treatment rather than deep bluing, but the visual character is the same — blue-violet hands against white dial is a specific and historically-grounded aesthetic choice.

Arabic Numerals and Legibility

The 2623M uses bold Arabic numerals at all twelve hour positions — the most immediately readable hour marker format. Unlike baton markers (which require familiarity with clock face conventions) or Roman numerals (which require knowledge of the numeral system), Arabic numerals are universally and instantly readable. For a daily-wear business watch the Arabic numeral layout is the practical choice.

2623M vs 2694M — Two BERNY Leather Quartz Dress Watches

Both are BERNY quartz leather strap dress watches in the range:

Choose 2623M for day + date display, bold Arabic numerals and blued hands. Choose 2694M for the slimmer 8mm profile, lighter 40g weight and sapphire-coated crystal.

Who Is the BERNY 2623M For?

The 2623M is built for:

• Day-date display buyers who want both calendar functions on a simple leather quartz watch
• Dual-language calendar buyers who use both English and Chinese daily
• Blued hands buyers who want the 2623M-B white dial / brown strap vintage character
• Arabic numeral buyers who prefer the immediately readable bold numeral format over baton markers

How It Compares

vs. BERNY 2694M Miyota 2035 — See comparison table above.

vs. LOBINNI 17017 Shanghai JHB10 — LOBINNI uses Shanghai JHB10 automatic at 40mm/12mm with week + date. BERNY uses Miyota quartz at 38mm/9.5mm with day + date. Both are day + date leather strap dress watches — automatic vs quartz, different size and price.
