The digital watch is offered in two colors -- 'All-Black' or 'Gold-on-Black.' Though the face of the watch is bold, the LED screen displays only the time and date, allowing the watch to carry its [minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bremont-jumping-hour-watch) on all fronts. The screen contains a back-light as well, making the time visible at night. The simple watch is water-resistant and the metal is sand-blasted, giving it a [soft finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a1-slate). The black strap is made from luxurious Italian leather.
