Blued steel Breguet style hands. Retrograde Date: Located at the bottom of the main dial. Blued steel hand. Rather than a traditional hand or a date disc rotating in continuous forward-moving circles only, the date is indicated by a hand that ravels along an arc & once it reaches the 31st day of the month it will spring back to the 1st. The rest of the watch lacks a dial, thus exposing the entire movement, both on the front & back of the watch. The movement mainplate & bridges feature a fine textured finished achieved by a process called peening. The peened decorated finish gives the surface & rich & unique look.

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.
