Movement

At the center of this 5396G-014 configuration is a clone Cal. 324 S QA LU 24H/303 automatic annual-calendar movement. Its calendar architecture is presented through a highly ordered display: day and month occupy twin apertures beneath 12 o’clock, while the lower section combines moon phase, a 24-hour indication and a separate date window at 6 o’clock.

The functions are arranged along a strict vertical axis, allowing the movement’s calendar information to remain clear without compromising the restrained character of the dial.

Case & Construction

The 38.5mm round case is constructed from white-gold-tone 904L stainless steel and follows a traditional Calatrava-style dress-watch profile. The middle case remains visually slim, while short lugs curve gently downward to create a compact and balanced silhouette on the wrist.

High-polish finishing dominates the exterior, producing clean reflections across the case sides, lugs and transitions. The absence of heavy sports-watch architecture keeps the construction deliberately restrained. A transparent sapphire crystal caseback provides a view of the automatic mechanical movement.

• Case Diameter: 38.5mm
• Case Material: White-gold-tone 904L stainless steel
• Case Shape: Round Calatrava-style profile
• Finishing: High-polish / mirror-polished surfaces
• Lugs: Short, gently downward-curving design
• Caseback: Sapphire crystal exhibition caseback

Dial

The charcoal-grey sunburst dial changes character with the light, moving visually from deep graphite tones toward softer silver-grey highlights. This radial finish gives depth to an otherwise highly classical and symmetrical composition.

Applied Breguet-style Arabic numerals in a white-metal tone are paired with faceted Dauphine-style hour and minute hands. A fine peripheral dotted minute track frames the dial without adding visual weight. Beneath 12 o’clock, the day and month apertures form a precise horizontal pair, while the moon phase, 24-hour indication and date are aligned vertically toward 6 o’clock.

• Dial Color: Charcoal / deep grey
• Dial Finish: Sunburst
• Color Character: Deep grey to silver-grey depending on light
• Hour Markers: Applied Breguet-style Arabic numerals
• Hands: Faceted Dauphine-style hour and minute hands

Bezel

The white-gold-tone 904L stainless-steel bezel is narrow, smooth and deliberately free of functional markings. Its gently sloping profile transitions cleanly from the sapphire crystal toward the case, making the 38.5mm watch appear visually slimmer.

Mirror polishing provides the bezel with a clear reflective edge while leaving the complicated dial as the principal focus. With no scale, gemstone setting or exposed decorative screws, its role is purely architectural.

• Material: White-gold-tone 904L stainless steel
• Shape: Round, narrow-profile bezel
• Surface Finish: High-polish / mirror finish
• Profile: Gently sloping
• Bezel Scale: None
• Visible Bezel Screws: None

Strap

A black large-scale alligator leather strap complements the charcoal dial and polished white-metal-tone case. Its traditional texture reinforces the formal character of the 5396G-style design while providing a flexible alternative to a metal bracelet.

Combined with the restrained 38.5mm case, the dark leather gives the watch a refined wrist presence suited to business, formal occasions and understated everyday wear.

• Material: Alligator leather
• Pattern: Large-scale texture
• Color: Black
• Wearing Character: Flexible, refined and dress-oriented

Buyer FAQ

1. How does the charcoal sunburst dial look under different lighting?

The charcoal sunburst finish responds noticeably to changes in light and viewing angle. In softer light it appears deep graphite grey, while stronger reflections can reveal lighter silver-grey tones across the radial surface.

2. What information does the annual-calendar dial display?

The dial displays the day, month and date together with a moon-phase display and 24-hour indication. The day and month appear through twin apertures beneath 12 o’clock, while the remaining calendar information is arranged symmetrically toward 6 o’clock.

3. How does the 38.5mm case wear on the wrist?

The 38.5mm diameter gives the watch a restrained, traditional dress-watch presence. Short downward-curving lugs keep the overall profile compact, while the narrow polished bezel allows the dial to occupy a generous portion of the visible surface.

4. Can I swim or shower while wearing this watch?

The stated water-resistance specification is 30 meters. Professional pressure testing is recommended before any water exposure. Do not operate the crown or pushers underwater.
