It is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. There are two types of mechanical movements: manual winding and automatic winding. The manual winding type requires manual winding using the crown.

On the other hand, automatic watches are superior in practicality, as they generally do not require winding the crown as long as you wear them.

"HydroConquest" with excellent functionality

The HydroConquest comes in a wide variety of colors. The bezel is made of scratch-resistant ceramic. The photo shows the HydroConquest (Ref. L3.781.4.96.6) with a vibrant blue sunray dial.
