An unforgettable chocolate dial boasts Arabic numerals and a central sweep second hand that allow for precise and accurate readings of 1/8 second. The two counters display lapsed time in hours and minutes.

To show off this statement making watch, opt for a houndstooth sports coat, with a simple lightweight sweater or crisp button-down. Polish off the look with a pair of classic dress pants or slim Dockers.
