No. It is a self winding automatic, powered by the motion of your wrist as you wear it. The rotor inside keeps the mainspring tensioned so the hands run on their own. There is no cell to swap, so you fasten it on and never think about a battery again, as long as you keep wearing it through the day.

Yes. A mechanical caliber with a self winding rotor drives the hands, not a quartz battery module, and the dial is marked AUTOMATIC to match. It is the kind of watch collectors mean when they say automatic, winding itself from ordinary wrist motion rather than from a button cell.

It slowly unwinds and stops, which is normal for a mechanical watch rather than a fault. To bring it back, give the crown a few turns to wind the mainspring, then set the hands and the date, and it picks up from where you left off. Put it back on your wrist and the rotor keeps it running again.

Sixteen case, dial and bracelet finishes, all built on the same self winding automatic movement and the same integrated steel bracelet. You can pick a steel, gold or gunmetal case with a dial in tones like blue, black, green, white or a warmer gold, so the same mechanism sits under a face that suits a dress shirt or a weekend off.

Yes. A framed date window sits at the three marker on the dial, so you read the date at a glance alongside the time. The dial keeps a clean baton layout with applied luminous markers and hands, so both the time and the date stay easy to read across a meeting, on the train or over dinner.

It is best to keep the watch away from heavy water exposure, so it is not made for swimming or showering. Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft dry cloth to keep them bright. Wear it as an everyday automatic for the office, errands and evenings rather than as a dive watch, and store it away from strong magnets between wears.

The integrated steel bracelet fastens like a standard bracelet clasp and sits solid across a range of wrist sizes, flowing straight from the cushion case for a clean line. If it runs long for a smaller wrist, a jeweller can remove a link or two so the bracelet sits comfortably for everyday wear without sliding around.

Yes. A self winding mechanical watch makes a clear, lasting gift that needs no setup beyond a wind and a wear, with no battery to worry about later. Pick the case and dial finish to suit the wearer from the sixteen options, and it reads considered as a first automatic, a birthday present or a graduation gift.
