The 50509 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The Cellini Time wears distinctly from any Oyster model. Its 39mm white gold-plated case features polished surfaces with a slender profile that slips effortlessly under a shirt cuff. The fluted double bezel — one dome-shaped, one finely fluted — creates an architectural frame unique to the Cellini collection.
The lacquered black dial offsets elongated faceted hour markers and dauphine hands, both in white gold plating. A railway-style minute track circles the perimeter, adding vintage character without cluttering the face. The overall effect is restrained elegance — no date window, no complications, just three hands reading the time.
Below, a black alligator strap provides supple comfort, secured by a concealed deployant buckle in matching white gold plating.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two caliber choices are available for this Cellini Time, letting you match precision level to your preference:
- Swiss Automatic — beats at 28,800 vph with approximately 70-hour power reserve. Decorated rotor and fine regulation deliver chronometer-grade accuracy under the solid caseback.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — reliable 21,600 vph movement with smooth seconds sweep and approximately 42-hour reserve. An excellent entry point with widely available servicing.
Both options offer hacking seconds and manual winding capability, matching the genuine Cellini’s time-setting experience.
