The Oxford Dictionary defines quintessential as "representing the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class." 

This is the quintessential men's timepiece. It is certainly the only watch a man needs to own and it is absolutely the first watch a collector should buy.

The styling is classic, timeless. A simple black dial with silvertone hands and hour markers. There is a date window at 3 o'clock. The hands have luminous paint as do the hour markers.  The styling is understated, yet elegant. The case is entirely stainless steel and the watch is water resistant to 50 meters or 165 feet below sea level.

Most importantly it has one of the finest 21 jewel Automatic (Selfwinding) watch movements ever made, the Miyota movement perfected in Japan and used in some of the world's finest and most expensive watches.
