Centuria Arabic Steel Black
ACT I - THE WATCH
Black is where every collection begins. It is also where the serious ones return.
The Centuria Arabic Steel Black is for the man who has tried everything else and come back to what works. Black sunburst dial. Applied Eastern Arabic numerals. Fluted bezel. The most familiar colour, written in an unfamiliar script.
ACT II - THE CRAFT
On black, no detail has anywhere to hide. Each Eastern Arabic numeral is individually applied and polished to a mirror finish, standing sharp against the dial beneath sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment.
Japanese NH35 automatic movement, 24 jewels. Screw-down crown. 316L stainless steel case, bezel and bracelet.
ACT III - THE FEEL
Under direct light, a faint sunburst moves across the dial. Out of it, the black goes deep and still. The polished numerals catch the light like cut steel, and the fluted bezel frames everything in bright, sharp lines. The five-link bracelet flexes with every movement of the wrist and closes on a security clasp.
