Here is a very elegant watch in my collection that I am featuring this Sunday. This is a Glashütte Spezimatic Cal. 74. It has a very simple yet elegant design that's perfect for any occasion, whether casual or formal.

| Can't go wrong with black. This is elegance in simplicity. |

 |
| Close up of the watch face/dial showing no date or day complications |
 |
| Back of the watch indicating (in German) that this is stainless steel, shockproof, 20microns gold-plated, and waterproof. And, of course, it is Made in Germany. |

| I keep the postcard the wife sent me the first time she was traveling across Europe. |

| Pristine Cal. 74 spezimatic (special automatic) movement for a vintage watch. This beats at 18,000 A/h with a power reserve of 37hours. Movements like this were manufactured between 1964 and 1980 so the watch is probably just about my age. :) |
I usually wear this on formal occasions as the other watches can be quite hefty on the wrist and an ill fit with the Barong Tagalog. This is more of a low key watch as many people in the Philippines are not quite aware of the brand, which is now part of the Swatch Group.
