Arabesques

The wavy pattern—characteristic of the arabesque form—present on the outer steel case of this gorgeous 27mm timepiece bestows its rectangular case with elegance.  The milky mother-of-pearl dial contains only two Arabic numerals for the hours—at six and 12 o’clock.  The rest of the hour markers are small and rounded, giving the dial a minimalist yet sophisticated look. Its silver-toned exterior extends to the brilliant steel bracelet offering uniformity in design, and the overall appearance makes it quite versatile in terms of everyday wear. This quartz timepiece is also resistant to water up to 50m.

The sub-dials are conveniently placed at the 10, one and six o’clock positions, while the date aperture sits at the six o’clock position.

Going for an all-silver look, this quartz timepiece also has three spread-out sub-dials at the 10, two and six o’clock positions.
