NAOS XS white c/gold / Milanaise c/gold

Woven metal changes how a small watch sits. On this Sternglas NAOS XS, a gold-tone Milanaise bracelet turns a 33 mm white-dial watch into something that drapes rather than clamps.

Naos is the Sternglas core line and the purest version of its dial philosophy, which comes down to leaving things out. Slim markers, three hands, a date at the edge of the dial and no decoration anywhere. The Hamburg brand has been refining that same layout since 2016.

The XS case is 33 mm in diameter with 16 mm lugs, finished in gold tone. Inside, a Miyota GL12 quartz caliber with date and a battery rated to 36 months. The crystal is domed sapphire with double anti-reflective coating; water resistance is 5 ATM. The Milanaise bracelet is 316L stainless steel mesh, 2.5 mm thick, in a matching gold finish, with a sliding clasp that adjusts to any wrist size and a tool-free quick-change fitting at the lugs.

Comfortable, precisely sizeable, and warmer on the skin than a link bracelet ever is.

Perfect for: gold mesh watches, infinitely adjustable bracelets, small white dial watches.
