Just beneath is a small, circular date window beveled and rimmed in polished metal. The dates match the dial—black with black and white with silver—which works well with the design. The polished edges still make them standout, but not too much. The chapter ring then consists of the contrast color with dashes at full and half second/minute intervals as well as small numerals at intervals of five. The use of a contrast color works well with the design, condensing the dial a bit while also breaking up the monotone of the center.

A great detail of the design is that the dial is gently domed, increasing in radius towards the edge. This adds a gentle play in light, darkening towards the edges, and it softens the overall look of the dial. They also kink over the end of the seconds hand, which emphasizes the curvature.

The hour and minute hands have an unique design, with partially skeletonized bodies that taper toward a lume-filled tip. They are very appealing, nodding to vintage dauphine hands while still looking very modern. They also play well off of the applied markers on the dial. Another very nice design detail of the BW003 is found dead-center on the dial. Instead of leaving a small hole visible where the hands connect to the pinion, they’ve capped it off with a small, brushed disk. It’s a small detail, but one that more brands should consider as it gives the watch a more intentional and high-end overall appearance.

Inside of the BW003 is the Sellita SW300, their version of the ETA 2892. Like that movement, it’s a bit thinner than the 200/2824 and bit more elegant in appearance. The one in the BW003 is nicely decorated with perlage under the rotor, plating on all surfaces and a custom rotor with an attractive design. As far as stats go, the SW300 features 25-jewels, hacking, hand winding, date, power reserve of 42 hours, and a frequency of 28,800 bph. In my time with the watch it was accurate and reliable.
