Three watches, one standard of finish.
An integrated steel watch for every day, a watch for open water, and a dress watch with a 24-hour register. Each is offered in a short run of dials, on its own bracelet.

a glance
Applied indices, a framed date at three and a dial ribbed in horizontal lines that changes with the light. Brushed and polished steel meet at a single sharp edge around it.
Meridian in forest green
A forest green dial, ribbed in horizontal lines, under an eight-sided bezel held by eight screws. Steel case, drawn into its bracelet without a break.
