The minimalist watch features a one-piece stainless steel 43mm case with the face sitting slightly angled towards the wearer for better legibility. Other standout design features include a crown at 12 o´clock, plus an unusual strap integrated into the underside of the case and hidden inside the base. Water-resistant to 100m, the Bolido is available in several colors. watch the video below
