Damascus steel is produced by an ancient technique of forging knives to produce a beautiful woodgrain pattern and increased hardness. This is achieved through multiple layers of steel that has been forged and twisted under high temperatures to achieve these unique patterns, with no two pieces being alike. This unique Aurora features a meteorite dial and stainless damascus steel case.

Sensei Says
The specs, in plain English
The movement
Miyota 9039. A mid-tier movement (Miyota 90xx, Sellita SW-class): slimmer, smoother seconds, and a meaningful step up in finishing and accuracy.
On the wrist
At 38 mm it lands in the modern sweet spot, a 46 mm lug-to-lug suits most wrists.
The value
Fairly priced for what it is.
