It is hard to believe that a watch could give one the metropolitan feel. But the new Cyril Ratel model does manage to do that. It is the Cyril Ratel Urban Watch. Below, please follow me to personally feel the timepiece.

The design of the new Cyril Ratel Urban Watch has its inspiration from the designs of the megalopolises including Hong Kong, Miami and New York. The metropolitan feel is capsulated in the architecture of case and the design of the dial.

The case of the new Cyril Ratel watch is crafted in stainless steel with its surface treated with black PVD. This kind of material and treatment pave the background of its metropolitan feel. It is designed in round with a diameter of 44 mm. The construction of the winding crown at three o’clock as well as the two joints which link the case with the strap is the highlight of the case. Combined, they further accentuate the magnificent metropolitan feel of the watch.

Also contributing a part to the metropolitan feel of the watch is its dial. It is crafted in a black background. The hour markers in it are composed of Arabic numerals as well as the square-shaped indexes. They are displaying a contrast white color to the black dial and ensure the clear dial visibility. Gliding over the indexes are two luminous hands, pointing to the hour and minutes respectively. At three o’clock is a large date exhibition while the golden brand logo is showcased at six o’clock. This concrete design of the dial expresses the magnificent feel of the watch.

The heart of the new Urban watch is a self-winding or a quartz movement with a rhythm of 28,800v/h and a power reserve of 42 hours.

The new timepiece is teamed up with a black rubber strap and a push-button folding clasp. They complete the metropolitan feel of the Cyril Ratel Urban Watch.
