DeWitt Academia Seconde Retrograde Watch combines distinctive Swiss watch design with an elegant black-and-silver appearance and an eye-catching retrograde seconds display.
The watch features a sophisticated black dial framed by contrasting silver-tone details. Roman numeral accents at XII, IX, III and VI give the dial a classical character, while the architectural styling of the case and bezel creates the distinctive appearance associated with the DeWitt Academia collection.
DeWitt Academia Seconde Retrograde Design
One of the most distinctive elements of this watch is the retrograde seconds display positioned at 6 o’clock. Rather than using a conventional central seconds hand, the display forms a prominent visual feature across the lower section of the dial.
The main hour and minute hands feature contrasting silver-tone detailing that stands out clearly against the black dial. A detailed minute track surrounds the dial and complements the combination of Roman numerals and contemporary design elements.
Black Dial and Silver-Tone Case
The combination of a deep black dial and bright silver-tone case gives the watch a refined monochrome appearance. The sculpted bezel features a distinctive geometric pattern around its circumference, adding further character to the overall design.
A prominent crown is positioned on the right side of the case and complements the substantial proportions of the watch.
Automatic Mechanical Movement
The DeWitt Academia Seconde Retrograde Watch features an automatic mechanical movement visible through the transparent exhibition caseback.
The caseback provides a direct view of the movement and decorated rotor while also displaying Academia, Seconde Rétrograde, DeWitt and Genève markings.
The pictured watch also carries the individual number 021/250 on its caseback.
Black Leather Strap
Completing the design is a black crocodile-pattern leather strap that complements the black dial while maintaining the watch’s elegant character. The silver-tone folding clasp coordinates with the case and features distinctive DeWitt-style detailing.
