Centuria Arabic Steel Dark Blue
ACT I - THE WATCH
Dark blue is the colour of the hour after dusk, when the day’s noise has finally stopped.
The Centuria Arabic Steel Dark Blue is for the man who does his best thinking then. Dark blue textured dial. Twelve applied Eastern Arabic numerals. Fluted bezel. No date, no distraction. Only the hours.
ACT II - THE CRAFT
Without a date window, all twelve numerals take their place in full. Each is individually applied and polished, set against a dial textured with fine radial lines beneath sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment.
Japanese NH35 automatic movement, 24 jewels. Screw-down crown. 316L stainless steel from case to clasp.
ACT III - THE FEEL
Under direct light the radial lines set the blue in motion, sweeping from slate to deep navy as the wrist turns. The polished numerals sit proud of the texture and catch the light in clean strokes. The fluted bezel frames the dial in sharp silver, and the five-link bracelet follows the wrist closely all the way to the clasp.
