It is this simple but highly functional design that inspired us to re-design our Military-series, which has now been expanded by the new Military 42 automatic.The 42 in the name stands for the case's diameter of 42mm. The classic snake hands harmonize very well with the large numbers that are only interrupted at 6 clock by the date window. The domed sapphire crystal with two anti-reflective coatings on the inside allows a clear view of these components of timekeeping, that even without light remain visible, thanks to the generous use of Swiss luminous paint.Turning the stainless steel case of the Military 42 automatic around, will reveal yet another crystal. It lets one have a good view of the mouvement in the so-called Élaboré execution, a highly reliable and robust automatic watch movement from Swiss production. And so, this new model of the Military 42 automatic also has the makings of becoming a classic, a must-have for every watch collection.
