THE DATE WATCH

AN EVERYDAY CLASSIC

The date watch became one of the most practical forms of the modern mechanical wristwatch. By combining timekeeping with an easy-to-read date display, it created a format that could move naturally between work, formal occasions and everyday life.

Heritage Date follows this tradition with balanced proportions, a magnified date window and a mixture of polished and brushed surfaces. Rather than being a fixed design, it serves as a foundation that can be personalized through the dial, hands, bracelet, logo, artwork and engraving.

The result is a familiar everyday watch format that can be made distinctly personal.
