The original pocket watch features a highly unique dial with a detailed center design, black bold numerals, and an eye-catching blue-gray background color. The front of the watch also boasts breathtaking aqua heavy moon watch hands and a helpful subdial. We made this piece even more special by encasing it within our robust Machined Titanium case, and we equipped it with a nickel-plated crown. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the back of the watch, you can view its stunning inner workings, including its 404-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish and pendant setting.
