A round 44mm stainless steel case sits over a black dial with luminous hands and markers, driven by a Seiko Y121 quartz movement. The crystal is hardened mineral. A unidirectional rotating black bezel surrounds the case, and a screwed caseback adds to the 100m water resistance rating. The silver stainless steel bracelet fastens with a butterfly deployment clasp. At 210g, it wears with noticeable weight on the wrist.

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.

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

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.
