I bought this model because it has "ceramic" components, and that facinated me. The case and dial are made from a "high tech" ceramic according to the maker.

It says Swiss Movt on the dial (though I don't have a clue which one), and has chronograph and date complications. Specs say the crystal is sapphire. The dial is black mother of pearl (very nice), not just black. I have owned it only a short time, but so far, so good.

It keeps time as well as any quartz I've owned. Pictures do not show the appearance well, as the bracelet and case are black with a chrome like appearance. It is very highly polished on band and case, black reflective to the point of silver if that makes sense. The bracelet has a double spring hidden deployment clasp without release tabs, but it holds securely on daily wear. There is an excellent graphic link in the product specs that shows the deployment clasp clearly.

It is heavy, and feels solid. It is large, thicker than some similar chrono watches, and the band is thicker as well. I have a large build and it fits me, but some may dislike the size. I appreciate the size because the eyes aren't what they used to be...

If you remove your own links, you will want to contact the Customer Service number in the manual and get them to send you some pictures of the link removal. The band has metal (stainless steel?) sleeves inside the holes in each link to prevent the ceramic from wearing or fracturing I suppose, and utilizes a two piece pin. My Invicta sizing tool has the proper size tip to push the small center of the pin out - it will make sense when you see the photos. It's harder to re-assemble the pins than remove them with that tool, but do-able. (I did reach customer service with only a short wait on my first try, but "your mileage may vary"!)

I liked mine so well I ordered a ladies white ceramic for the wife! BTW, there is a big price difference between the various versions of this watch, selecting a different dial for instance, made a big price difference. Enjoy.
