Most watches hide their engine. This one puts it on show. Through the open heart at the centre of the dial you can watch the balance wheel breathe — tick after tick, driven by nothing but the swing of your own wrist. It’s the detail that makes people lean in and ask what you’re wearing.
Inside beats a genuine Japanese Miyota automatic — the movement family the microbrand world trusts for its reliability. No battery, ever: it winds itself as you move, running at 21,600 beats per hour with around 40 hours of reserve when you set it down. You can follow every oscillation through the open dial.
The 39 mm case is forged from 316 stainless steel and finished with diamond-cut brushing that catches the light along every edge of its cushion-octagon “porthole” silhouette. Over the dial sits a sapphire crystal — the hardest, clearest glass in watchmaking — so it shrugs off the scratches that dull lesser watches. The layered dial comes in deep blue, warm brown or stealth black, with bold applied markers that glow after dark, and a 24-hour and seconds register framing the open heart for a purposeful, technical face that still reads clean at a glance.
At 39 mm by 11 mm on a soft canvas strap with a secure double-push butterfly clasp, it wears light and easy from desk to dinner. Choose steel with a blue, black or brown dial — or a punchy orange strap — or go warmer with a rose-gold-tone case in blue or brown. Six looks in all.

Water resistance isn’t formally rated for this model, so treat it as splash-resistant only — keep it away from swimming, showers, the sauna and submersion, and never use the crown near water. As an automatic it winds from wrist movement; if it sits unworn a day or two it will stop, so give the crown a few turns and reset the time before wearing. Wipe with a soft cloth and keep away from strong magnets and knocks.
Is this a tourbillon watch?
No. It’s an open-heart automatic — an aperture exposes the balance wheel so you can see it oscillate. That’s not a tourbillon, which is a rotating escapement cage. This watch doesn’t have one.
What movement does it use?
A Japanese Miyota automatic that winds from your wrist’s motion — no battery. 21,600 beats per hour, 21 jewels, about 40 hours of power reserve.
Can I swim or shower with it?
No. Water resistance isn’t formally rated, so treat it as splash-resistant only and keep it away from swimming, showers and submersion.
What size is it?
39 mm in diameter, 11 mm thick, on an 18 mm strap; about 88 g.
Does it have a sapphire crystal?
Yes — a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
