Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Miyota Super 2035 / GL12 quartz movement and why does it matter?
A: The Miyota Super 2035 and GL12 are high-quality quartz calibres manufactured by Citizen's movement division. They are renowned for their accuracy, long battery life, and reliability.

Q: What is Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 and C3 luminous material?
A: Swiss Super-LumiNova is the industry-standard photoluminescent pigment used in professional and luxury watches.
