The Classics Heart Beat Automatic combines fine watchmaking craft and modern style, featuring a 40 mm stainless steel case and a silver-colour sunray-brushed dial decorated with a Clous de Paris guilloché pattern. A signature Heart Beat aperture at 12 o'clock reveals the mechanical movement's balance wheel in motion.

Powered by the FC-310 automatic movement with 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve, this timepiece delivers precise timekeeping with hours, minutes, and seconds functions. The balance operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The dial is finished with printed Roman numeral indexes, paired with a black crocodile-pattern embossed leather strap and classic pin buckle. The case measures 10.5 mm in thickness with a 20 mm lug width and offers water resistance up to 5 ATM.
