About Our Watches
What's the difference between AAA, 4A, and Super (Swiss)?
AAA is our excellent everyday tier with a reliable automatic movement. 4A steps up the finishing and accuracy with tighter tolerances. Super (Swiss) uses a Swiss-grade movement and precision detailing to the factory option — our top tier.
Are the watches automatic or do they need a battery?
Most are automatic (self-winding mechanical) movements — no battery required. They wind from the natural motion of your wrist. If yours has been sitting, wind the crown a few turns or give it a gentle shake to get it running.
What are they made of?
Predominantly stainless steel cases and bracelets with a scratch-resistant crystal. Every watch is quality-checked for finish and accuracy before it ships.
What bracelet styles do you offer?
Depending on the model, options include Multi-Link, Oyster, and two-tone bracelets. Check the individual product page for the exact bracelet style and case size.
