Swiss Military Hanowa SMWGG0003530 Dark Matter 42mm Men's Watch

The Swiss Military Hanowa SMWGG0003530 Dark Matter is a men's quartz watch with a 42mm stainless steel case, black sapphire crystal dial and 10 ATM water resistance.

Power comes from a Swiss Made Ronda 05-R503H1 movement, which keeps time without winding and needs only a battery change every few years. The case and bracelet are stainless steel with a black plated finish, giving a dark, uniform look that matches the black dial. Clear sapphire glass protects the face from scratches far better than mineral crystal. A two piece lock clasp with latch secures the bracelet on the wrist.
