NAOS Automatic white silver / Premium 20 brown

Brown leather takes the chill off a white dial. The watch stops looking clinical and starts looking worn-in, before you have worn it in.

The NAOS Automatik is the self-winding version of the best-known Sternglas model. The Hamburg brand, founded in 2016, keeps the Naos face reduced to essentials, and the name itself points that way: the naos was the inner chamber of a Greek temple, the room everything else was built around.

The white dial is set in a 38 mm stainless steel case with a silver-tone finish, on a brown Premium leather strap 20 mm across at the lugs. A Miyota 8215 automatic supplies time and date, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 42-hour power reserve, visible through the six-screw glass caseback. The crystal is double-domed sapphire, anti-reflective on both faces. Water resistance is 5 bar.

Versatile in the genuine sense: it does not look out of place with a jacket or with a t-shirt.

Perfect for: brown leather watch straps, white dial everyday watches, versatile 38 mm automatics.
