Yes. Each watch is designed as an everyday companion: comfortable on the wrist, easy to read at a glance and robust enough for daily life, whether you are commuting, travelling or off-duty.

Yes. If you share your wrist circumference when ordering, we can size the bracelet before shipping so the watch is ready to wear when it arrives. Any removed links are included in the box for future adjustments.
