Constructed with a glass fibre‑reinforced polyamide case, stainless steel bezel and sapphire crystal glass, the Vertical Solar Sand is both rugged and refined. The soft silicone strap ensures comfortable all‑day wear during workouts or adventures. With 100 metres (10 ATM) water resistance, it stands up to rain, swim sessions and rough conditions with confidence.
