A higher jewel count, like the 23 found in this movement, signifies exceptional durability and precision, as the synthetic ruby bearings reduce friction and improve long-term accuracy. The gold-toned gears and meticulously finished bridges add to the beauty of this movement, making it a joy to admire through the caseback.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEncased in a 47mm sandblasted stainless steel case, this watch pairs industrial strength with refined design.
