The timepiece is truly a sight to behold, featuring a captivating matte black case embellished with elegant blue and white accents. Made of corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel, this watch is wind and water-resistant up to a depth of 100 meters.  The dial of the watch showcases a topographic-inspired pattern, adding a touch of adventurous spirit to its sophisticated appearance.

The science behind quartz watches: how they keep perfect time
A quartz watch offers precision that is unparalleled in horology.

The quartz revolution transformed horology with a winning combination of precision and accessibility. Before the ascension of Quartz watches, mechanical watches utilized gears and springs that, although intricate, would eventually drift over time to minutes each month.  It was in 1880 that Jacques and Pierre Curie discovered the amazing properties of quartz, but it was not until 1969 that precision met its match. This was when legendary brand Seiko introduced the Astron, forever changing the quartz era by improving accuracy to within seconds per year.
