This is very nice bordeaux red watch. Has combination of mostly brushed stainless steel and small accents of polished steel. I don't know yet how the date will change in time of next uneven month, and will I need to readjust it at the beginning of every month. It is really easy to adjust: longest pull for time, shortest pull for date. They also state that date needs to be avoided to adjust between 8:00pm and 2:00am to change date the next day. How does this watch know when is pm and am? This watch does not have quick release belt clasp; but old fashion pull clasp. It is quite hard to open and close. You can see it on my picture. It is still very beautiful watch. Circumference of belt is 7" and you can shorten eight links. Now beware if you order from shopemco you may get dead battery. Mine come completely dead and I paid $6.00 more dollars from jewelry store to get fresh 377/SR626SW low drain silver oxide battery. I also needed watch press to close back as it is under pressure which is a good thing. It really is water resistant.
