DRO D5001 Sapphire Quartz Watch, 46mm

$149.00

A 46 mm quartz watch with a sapphire crystal and a 316 stainless case, in four leather-strap colourways. One unit of each, and that is all there is.

Why It Stands Out

  • Sapphire crystal at this size and price. Most 46 mm quartz watches under a hundred dollars ship with mineral glass that picks up scuffs inside a month. This one does not.
  • 316 stainless steel for the case, which is the grade you want against skin and sweat rather than a plated alloy.
  • 10 mm thick despite the 46 mm width, so it stays flatter on the wrist than the diameter suggests.
  • A wide 26 mm leather band, which is the correct proportion for a case this size instead of a thin strap that makes the watch look bigger still.
  • A spring bar tool comes in the box, so you can change straps the day it arrives.
  • Four colourways with one unit each. When a combination is gone it is gone.

Watch Details

  • Case: 46 mm diameter, 10 mm thick, 316 stainless steel
  • Crystal: Sapphire
  • Band: Genuine leather, 26 mm wide, 26 cm long, buckle clasp
  • Colourways: Brown leather with silver-tone case, brown leather with black-tone case, black leather with black-tone case, black leather with silver-tone case
  • Weight: Approximately 90 g
  • Water resistance: 50 m (5 ATM), manufacturer-rated — swimming at the surface, not diving
  • Included: Gift box and a spring bar tool

Fit and Wear

It wears large and squared-off, which is the point of it. At 46 mm with a 26 mm band this needs a wrist that can carry the width, but the 10 mm case height keeps it from stacking up under a cuff, and 90 g is moderate for the size. The 26 cm band covers most wrists with room left. The brown pair runs warm with a rust-toned strap and suits denim and casual wear. The black pair reads sharper and goes better with a jacket. Case finishes split silver and dark across both straps, so there is a combination here for most wrists.

Colin's Take

Sapphire at this size and this price is the reason to pick it up. Everything else about a 46 mm quartz watch is easy to find. A crystal that still looks clean after a year of catching door frames is not. It wears large and squared-off, and if that is not what you want, this is not your watch. If it is, buy the colourway you want now, because there is one of each.
