Skeleton Automatic Watch for Men — Sapphire Crystal & Leather Strap

Most watches hide their engine behind a solid dial. We put ours on display. This skeleton automatic watch for men pairs an open-worked face with a see-through exhibition caseback, so the gears and balance wheel stay visible from both sides of the case. There is no battery inside it — the movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist.

We built this piece for the man who wants a mechanical watch that reads dressy rather than sporty. The round case, onion crown and genuine leather strap sit slim enough under a shirt cuff, while the open dial gives it enough presence to carry a plain outfit on its own.

Key Specifications

  • Movement: Self-winding automatic — no battery, no charging
  • Crystal: Sapphire crystal — the hardest crystal used in watchmaking, and the reason this dial resists the desk-edge scratches that dull mineral glass
  • Caseback: Exhibition caseback with full movement view
  • Dial: Round, open-worked skeleton design
  • Strap: Genuine leather
  • Clasp: Stainless steel butterfly deployant clasp — folds flat under the wrist so nothing digs in
  • Crown: Onion crown

Seven Finishes

Platinum/White, White Gold/Blue, Gold/White, Gold/Blue, Gold/Gold, Rose Gold/Blue, and Rose Gold/Coffee. Every finish uses the same case and movement, so the only decision is color.

Living With an Automatic Watch

We get the same three questions from first-time automatic owners, so here is what we tell them:

  • Wear it four or more days a week and it stays wound on its own. After a longer break, give the crown 20–30 turns before putting it back on.
  • Set the time with the crown pulled fully out. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, when the date wheel is engaged.
  • Keep the leather strap away from prolonged water. Leather always ages faster than the case does.
