Roamer 101984 41 85 05 Competence Skeleton IV Black Strap Watch - W60275
Ref. 101984 41 85 05
Sits in Roamer’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Roamer watches we list, which start at £159.
Price range £159 to £509 across 18 Roamer watches in stock.The Competence Skeleton has been a recurring project for Roamer, a Swiss maker whose origins stretch back to 1888 — a date still worn on the dial at 3 o'clock as a small piece of brand history rather than decoration. This fourth iteration refines what came before through restraint: slimmer hands, thinner indices, finer second-hand markers around the chapter ring. The changes are small and deliberate, and they make the movement easier to read without turning the dial into an exercise in busyness. The Soprod P024SK inside is a Swiss-made automatic with a 38-hour power reserve, and the indicator for that reserve sits as one of the dial's readable functions rather than a hidden technicality. At 43mm the watch sits with some presence on the wrist, the polished bezel echoing the blacked-out crown and the dark backing behind the skeleton window. The case back is open too, so the movement reads from both sides — front and reverse tell the same story.

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 explainedDoes 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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
