Complications: Date indicated by the red half-moon tipped rose gold hand pointing to the current date printed on the outer rim of the dial. Day & Month windows located beneath the 12 o'clock position. The lower level of the dial has a cutout allowing a view of a considerable portion of the day & month wheel - creating an impressive visual depth effect. Moonphase window sub-dial located at the 6 o'clock position. Small seconds hand set in the center of the moonphase sundial at the 6 o'clock position. Power reserve indicator window at the 12 o'clock position. An impressive technical accomplishment: The day, date, month & moonphase functions may all be changed as at any time of the day or night, even close to midnight - an operation that would damage most other movements. Detachable lugs allowing for an easy way to switch straps & fit a steel bracelet to the watch. Blancpain Caliber 66r9: Contains 36 jewels. Composed of 325 components. Flat balance spring allows for a perfect isochronism. Balance made from titanium, while extremely hard to machine titanium is less sensitive to temperature changes thus allowing for a much more consistent rate & is an extremely light metal thus consuming less energy to power, last but not least titanium is anti-magnetic as well. An impressive power reserve of 192 hours (8 days), achieved using 3 barrels. High density gold rotor ensuring a high efficiency winding. Calibre measurements: 7.60mm thick x 32mm in diameter.

The energy produced from the wound spring drives the movement functions. An automatic watch has a weighted rotor mounted on a pivot to the back of the movement, and the rotor is connect to the mainspring through a series of gears. The natural motion of the wearers wrist will cause the rotor to spin, which in turn will automatically wind the mainspring. Please note: An automatic winding watch which has completely wound-down or is at the end of its power reserve requires manual winding. Manually winding an automatic watch ensures that the watch is at full power-reserve when first worn, and as long as the watch is in motion thereafter it will remain fully wound, ensuring that when the watch is removed it will run the specificed power-reserve duration.
