Design & Aesthetics
All-Black Finish

The watch features an entirely black ion-plated stainless steel construction, creating a bold and contemporary appearance. The polished surfaces catch light subtly, while the monochrome finish enhances versatility, allowing it to pair well with business attire, evening wear, or casual outfits.

Roman Numeral Dial

One of the Grant collection’s signature elements is its oversized Roman numerals. Instead of sitting outside the sub-dials, the numerals extend beneath them, creating an artistic layered effect inspired by antique clocks. This distinctive design sets the watch apart from conventional chronographs.

Chronograph Layout

The dial includes three sub-dials arranged symmetrically to display chronograph timing functions, providing both functionality and visual balance.

Build Quality
Stainless Steel Construction

Both the case and bracelet are crafted from stainless steel, offering:

High durability
Corrosion resistance
Scratch resistance for everyday wear
Premium weight and feel on the wrist

The black finish provides a refined, modern look while maintaining the strength expected of stainless steel.

Mineral Crystal

The dial is protected by a mineral crystal lens that resists everyday scratches and impacts better than standard glass, though it is not as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal.

Accurate timekeeping
Low maintenance
Battery-powered operation
Reliable chronograph functionality

Unlike automatic watches, quartz movements do not require winding and generally provide greater accuracy in daily use.
