Pagani Day-Date Automatic Watch
No battery, and a crystal that does not scratch.
A steel case and bracelet on a folding safety clasp, running on an automatic movement wound by your own wrist. Twelve millimetres deep, so it sits under a cuff rather than fighting it. Rated to ten bar, which means you can swim in it without a second thought.
The Detail
Automatic, not battery.
Wound by the motion of your wrist, with the option to wind it by hand. Leave it off for a couple of days and it stops until you pick it up again.
Sapphire crystal.
The hardest material used in watchmaking short of diamond. Keys, desks and door frames leave no mark on it.
Day and date on the dial.
A full calendar with the day of the week alongside it, turning over on its own.
Ten bar.
Genuine swimming resistance, not the splash rating most watches carry.

Taking Care Of It
Keep it running.
Worn daily, it winds itself. If it stops after a spell in the drawer, turn the crown gently a few dozen times and reset the time.
Water.
Ten bar covers swimming and everyday exposure. Avoid hot showers and saunas, where heat rather than depth works against the seals. Rinse with fresh water after the sea or a pool.
The crown stays closed.
Pull it out only when the watch is completely dry, and push it fully home afterwards. Water resistance depends on it being seated.
Setting the calendar.
Avoid changing the date between nine in the evening and three in the morning, while the movement is already turning it over.
Magnets.
Speakers, laptop lids and phone cases hold stronger magnets than you would think. Prolonged contact affects timekeeping on any mechanical watch.
