A roughly textured moon disk in a rich blue color keeps track of the phases of the moon in Harry Winston’s Midnight Date Moonphase wristwatch. Other features of the elegantly designed timepiece include a silver-toned dial in a sunburst finish surrounding the hours and minutes’ function and a light, recessed area that highlights the date in Roman numerals. A mechanical automatic HW3202 movement that drives the watch is visible through the open case back. The watch comes in white or rose gold, has a 42 mm-diameter case, and comes with a matching gold ardillion buckle on a hand-sewn black alligator strap.
