Movement

At the heart of the 5296R-001 is a Clone Calibre 324 S C automatic movement, configured around the classical functions of this Calatrava design. Automatic self-winding supports everyday wear, while the movement drives hours, minutes, central seconds and a date indication positioned at 3 o’clock.

The movement can be viewed through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback, allowing its mechanical construction to remain part of the watch’s character while preserving the restrained appearance of the dial side.

Case & Construction

The 38mm case is manufactured from 904 stainless steel with a gold-tone finish, combining the warm visual character of a rose-gold dress watch with a stainless-steel case construction.

High-polished surfaces dominate the exterior, producing clean reflections across the case and its slender lugs. The lugs curve gently downward to maintain the refined, restrained proportions associated with the Calatrava profile. From the front, the architecture remains deliberately simple, allowing the Sector Dial to become the principal visual element.

• Case Diameter: 38mm
• Case Material: 904 stainless steel
• Color: Gold / rose-gold tone
• Finish: Predominantly high polished
• Lug Design: Slender with a gently downward-curved profile
• Caseback: Sapphire crystal display back

Dial

The defining element of the 5296R-001 is its silver-white two-tone Sector Dial. Rather than relying on a conventional open dial layout, the design is structured through multiple concentric scales that separate the time display into clearly defined visual zones.

A finely graduated outer minute track is accompanied by Arabic five-minute numerals, while an independent hour chapter surrounds the open central section. Blue printed tracks introduce a cool visual accent against the warm gold-tone case, creating a distinctive contrast with a strong vintage influence. A date window is integrated at 3 o’clock, accompanied by a central seconds hand.

• Dial Color: Silver-white two-tone
• Dial Style: Sector dial
• Scale Design: Multiple concentric hour and minute tracks
• Numerals: Arabic five-minute numerals
• Printed Details: Blue tracks and graduations
• Date Display: 3 o’clock
• Seconds: Central seconds hand

Bezel

A narrow, smooth 904 stainless-steel bezel surrounds the dial and is finished in a polished rose-gold tone. Its circular profile remains free of engraved markings, decorative screws or unnecessary detailing.

The restrained bezel width gives the Sector Dial a greater visual presence. High-polished surfaces create controlled reflections around the perimeter of the case, establishing a deliberate contrast between the simple exterior architecture and the more intricate geometry of the dial.

• Material: 904 stainless steel
• Finish: High polished
• Color: Rose-gold tone
• Shape: Smooth circular bezel
• Design: Narrow, clean and unmarked profile

Strap

The watch is paired with a dark brown crocodile-pattern leather strap, chosen to complement both the warm tone of the polished case and the vintage character of the Sector Dial.

The leather construction provides a softer and more traditional wrist presence than a metal bracelet, while the deep brown tone maintains the formal character expected from a 38mm Calatrava-style dress watch. The combination creates an understated profile suited to business wear, formal occasions and classic everyday styling.

• Material: Leather
• Pattern: Crocodile pattern
• Color: Dark brown
• Style: Classic dress-watch strap
