Limit, established in 1912, have a knack of producing watches at great value prices in a variety of styles, offering classic, modern, and sports designs with digital or analogue quartz movements. Quartz (silicon dioxide) crystals possess the remarkable property of oscillating at a very regular and predictable frequency when subjected to an electrical current. The first commercially available clocks to exploit this appeared in the late 1920s, and went on to supersede mechanical movements thanks to their accuracy and reduced need for maintenance. The bright, oversized numerals, luminous hands, and backlight function ensure this sports watch can read easily at a glance. At 48 mm diameter the case is large, but the watch remains incredibly lightweight at just 55 grams. 100M water resistant. Gift boxed.
