Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Freedom 60 collection takes its name and its design language from the sports watches of the 1960s, and this chronograph makes that reference explicit rather than decorative. The black dial carries diamond-cut hands and baton indices filled with old-radium-coloured Super-LumiNova, which reads as vintage without pretending to be anything other than a new watch — and in low light the warm-toned glow separates it from the clinical blue-white of more recent lume choices. At 43mm with a 53.10mm lug-to-lug, this sits prominently on the wrist, and 15mm of case height means it makes itself known under a cuff. The movement inside is the Calibre N19, built on a Sellita SW510 base and tuned to deliver 62 hours of power reserve — more than two and a half days of not having to wind it after a weekend off. The strap is a Perlon-textured rubber that carries the retro look without sacrificing practicality, its woven-style surface sitting more comfortably against the skin in warm conditions than a plain rubber band typically does.

Your new watch
Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 62 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 53.10mm, which suits wrists from roughly 18.5cm (7¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
