NAOS light brown silver / Premium 20 black

A black strap softens nothing. Put it beneath the light brown dial of this Naos and the dial reads brighter, the case reads sharper, and a casual watch turns formal.

Every Naos starts from the same rule: nothing on the dial that does not help you read the time. Sternglas has held to it since 2016, which is why the line's slim cases and printed markers have looked much the same across a decade of colors.

The dial here is light brown, the case polished 316L steel at 38 mm with 20 mm lugs, and the Premium leather strap black. A Miyota GR12 quartz movement handles the time and date, accurate to within about twenty seconds a month. A double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces covers the dial, and the case is rated to 5 bar.

Warm face, hard strap. It is the version of this watch that goes with a suit without pretending to be a dress watch.

Perfect for: black leather strap watches, warm brown dials, slim 38 mm quartz watches.
