Case & Construction

The 38mm case is constructed from 904 stainless steel with a gold-tone finish. Predominantly high-polished surfaces create clean, fluid reflections across the case flanks and lugs, emphasizing the simple geometry of the traditional Calatrava dress-watch profile.

Short lugs curve gently downward toward the wrist, keeping the front view compact and refined. With no crown guards or additional exterior decoration, the case architecture remains deliberately restrained and allows the dial to remain the principal visual element.

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

Dial

The watch is defined by a clean silver to silver-white opaline dial, designed around classical proportion rather than decorative complexity. Applied rose-gold-tone baton hour markers create a warm contrast against the pale surface, while the 12 o’clock position is distinguished by a more prominent double-faceted marker.

Fine dot minute markers are arranged around the outer edge, maintaining excellent visual order without adding unnecessary weight. Slender Dauphine-style hour and minute hands are paired with a fine central seconds hand, while a square date aperture at 3 o’clock is integrated discreetly into the composition.

• Dial Color: Silver / silver-white
• Dial Finish: Opaline
• Hour Markers: Applied rose-gold-tone baton markers
• 12 O’Clock Marker: Double-faceted design

Bezel

The fixed bezel is manufactured from 904 stainless steel and finished with a polished gold-tone surface. Its circular profile incorporates a subtle slope and softly rounded transition toward the case, giving the exterior a smooth and continuous appearance.

Free from engraved scales, decorative screws, gem setting or patterned detailing, the bezel remains intentionally understated. Its moderate width frames the dial without competing with the minimalist opaline surface.

• Material: 904 stainless steel
• Type: Fixed bezel
• Shape: Circular with gently sloped profile
• Finish: High polished
• Design: Smooth and unmarked

Strap

A dark brown crocodile-pattern leather strap complements the warm tone of the polished case and reinforces the traditional dress-watch character of the Ref. 5296R-010. The leather construction gives the watch a softer, more classic wrist presence than a metal bracelet and pairs naturally with business and formal attire.

• Material: Leather
• Pattern: Crocodile pattern
• Color: Dark brown
• Wearing Style: Classic, formal and understated
