A Swiss-made three-hand dress watch with a Ronda 515 quartz movement, black dial and a stainless-steel bracelet.
Best for
Someone who wants a plain, Swiss-movement dress watch in an all-purpose black-and-steel look.
Overview
This is TAL’s dress watch in its most versatile form: a clean three-hand layout with a black dial, a Swiss-made Ronda 515 quartz movement inside, and a 40mm stainless-steel case on a matching steel bracelet. There are no sub-dials to read — just the time and a date — which is exactly what makes it easy to wear with a shirt or under a cuff. Mineral glass and 50 metres of water resistance keep it practical, and the all-black-and-steel palette is the kind that goes with everything. It ships in a gift box, and at around $205 it’s one of the cheaper ways to get an actual Swiss movement on your wrist.

FAQs
Is the movement really Swiss?
Yes — it uses a Ronda 515 Swiss quartz movement, and TAL lists the watch as made in Switzerland.
Does it have a stopwatch?
No — this is a clean three-hand watch with a date only. For a chronograph, look at TAL’s Cosmos or Arena.
Can I wear it in the rain?
Yes — it’s rated to 50 metres, which covers rain and hand-washing.
