1948 Automatic

The contemporary version of the “1948” features a sturdy self-winding mechanical movement fitted with a ball-bearing device similar to the original’s. 44 mm across, its finely polished stainless steel case with transparent sapphire porthole at the back embodies today’s design preferences. The case frames a silver-toned or sunray brush-patterned black dial enhanced with rounded hour markers and a date window at 6 o’clock, over which rotate rhodium-plated hour, minutes and seconds hands protected by an anti-reflexive scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
