Housed in a 42mm Grade 5 titanium Piccadilly case that measures just 10.5mm thick, this Academic Slate Grey wears with a sleek, modern profile. The two-level grey dial features a polished centre and a matte outer ring, elegantly balanced by heart-shaped rhodium-plated hands that add a touch of warmth to the minimalist aesthetic. A signature small-seconds sub-dial at 1:30 adds distinctive character.

At its heart lies the in-house calibre SMA03, a micro-rotor automatic movement that delivers a 52-hour power reserve and operates at 4Hz. The watch’s limited production underscores its exclusivity, while a refined rubber strap reinforces its dress-watch appeal. The Academic Slate Grey is a quiet statement piece for those who appreciate subtlety, craftsmanship and independent watchmaking at its best.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
