A 44mm round stainless steel case houses a white dial with luminous hands and markers, kept under a hardened mineral crystal. The fixed bezel carries a skull engraving that defines the collection's character. At 15mm thick with a 22mm lug width, the case has a solid, substantial presence on the wrist. A screwed caseback adds a neat finish to the rear. The white silicone strap fastens with a pin buckle and keeps the overall look consistent with the dial. A Seiko Y121 quartz movement drives hours, minutes, and seconds, with 50 metres of water resistance for everyday wear.

Learn more about Philipp Plein
Philipp Plein founded his label in Munich in 1998, initially designing furniture before moving into fashion. The brand built itself on deliberate excess and has been divisive throughout.
The watches follow suit: heavy gold and black PVD plating, skull motifs, dense crystal setting, and large cases. Movements are quartz. There is no attempt at horological restraint and none is intended.
The brand knows precisely what it is doing and does it without apology, which at least makes it coherent.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
