“The DA44 has the classic Damasko style dial with a 60-minute timing bezel. The case size is 40mm, but the bezel brings it to just a tick under 42mm. The black ion plated case is made from ice-hardened stainless steel with a bead-blasted surface, making it more resistant to scratches. There is also an integrated anti-magnetic inner cage to guard against the movement becoming magnetized.
The knurled screw-down crown and mechanism is fully hardened and along with a screw-in case back, provides you with a 100-meter water resistance rating. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides gives you increased clarity when viewing the black dial with white hands and markers (12:00 is red). The hands and markers are also treated with long lasting CL1 SuperLuminova for reading the time in low light conditions. The seconds hand is painted red. The day and date window is found at a special position slightly below the center axis. The DA44BK includes black strap with red stitching.”
