Centuria Imperial Arabic Steel Black

ACT I - THE WATCH

White on black. The oldest way to tell the time clearly, and still the best.

The Centuria Imperial Arabic Steel Black is for the man who prefers clarity to decoration. Black sunburst dial. White Eastern Arabic numerals. Smooth, polished bezel. Every hour, read in an instant.

ACT II - THE CRAFT

Bold white numerals stand against the black for maximum legibility, with square five-minute markers set between them. The date sits magnified at 3 o’clock beneath sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment.

Japanese NH35 automatic movement, 24 jewels. Screw-down crown. 316L stainless steel case and bracelet.

ACT III - THE FEEL

In direct light a soft sunburst crosses the black, then disappears when the wrist turns away. The white numerals stay crisp either way. The polished bezel frames the dial like a mirror, and the three-link bracelet sits broad and flat on the wrist, brushed on the outer links and polished down the centre.
