NAOS PRO Automatic alabaster silver / Bridle 20 dark brown

Cream dial over dark brown leather is the oldest good idea in watch pairing, and nobody has improved on it yet.

Founded in Hamburg in 2016 by Dustin Fontaine, Sternglas set out to make design-led watches that outlive trends rather than chase them. The NAOS carries that brief: high contrast, geometric layout, sans-serif numerals-free indexing, and no ornament anywhere. In NAOS PRO form the dial stays exactly as disciplined while an automatic movement takes over the running.

The alabaster dial here is a warm off-white that flatters the dark brown Bridle leather strap fitted to its 20 mm lugs. The case is polished 316L stainless steel at 38 mm across, topped by a domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating, and it holds a Miyota 9015 automatic with a date on the dial. Water resistance is 5 bar, which covers rain, hand-washing and an unexpected downpour.

Wears warm, dresses up easily, and looks entirely at home with a tweed jacket or a rolled shirtsleeve.

Perfect for: brown leather watch strap lovers, cream dial automatics, everyday mechanical watch buyers.
