The epitome of casual elegance, this unique watch features a two-tone rhodium and charcoal-gray dial with an embossed horizontal relief pattern accented by luminescent ?baton? hour markers. This timepiece also stands out with its saddle-stitch rubber strap and its double-security titanium fold-over clasp.
