The Classic Automatic watch is an automatic and analog watch with a mechanical movement that is recharged with use. The watch case is in stainless steel, the strap in black vegan leather and it has scratch-resistant sapphire glass. In addition, the watch has a BackLight technology that makes the hands light up on the back and makes it easy to read the time, even in the dark.

Back in the 1940s, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) wanted to highlight its reputation for punctuality and asked Hans Hilfiker to design a solid legible clock. The clock should not only form the basis of SBB's identity, but also help to ensure correct departures. Hans Hilfiker, who was known for creating products that were both functional and well designed, designed the clock in 1944. Despite having no numbers on the dial, the clock is legible with only a quick glance. The red seconds hand is a small copy of the station attendant's hand-held departure signal, and has become a symbol of punctuality in Switzerland.
