It comes fitted with a brand new black leather strap, ready to wear or display.Key Features: • Manufacturer: CYMA (Swiss Made) • Movement: Manual wind, CYMA cal. 570 with 15 jewels • Case Size: 44mm (excluding crown) • Case Material: Nickel or silver-tone alloy (see photos) • Dial: High-contrast military-style dial with inner 24-hour scale and sub-seconds at 6 o’clock • Crystal: Domed acrylic • Strap:
