A heavy watch with all mechanical movement, this beauty is really good for formal or business events. I've traveled with it and routinely worn it to job interviews and dinner with friends. This is a fantastic watch in all respects but be prepared to wind it daily. It is a real mechanical watch and needs to be constantly wound to keep proper time. The time keeping itself is very simple, just 12 hours, no date, no month, phase of the moon, etc. I am very hard on watches and wear a plain old Casio regularly, saving this gem for special events, but I sure am happy with it. It is a great watch.
