To accentuate the industrial façade I felt a gothic purple dial with an engraved skull would be highly effective . On the case side is a bronze plate with the initials of my brand Paolo Mathai Horology in Malayalam script .

Powering the watch is an ETA Swiss automatic movement , Caliber 2824-1 , with 25 jewels , which oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour . The caliber is visibly showcased via the sapphire crystal exhibition case back .

Functionally the Purple Skull features hours , minutes , seconds and a date indication ( located at 3 o ’ clock ). The watch also has a power reserve of 40 hours and is water resistant to 100 meters . As a perfect finale , the Purple Skull is presented on an exquisite handcrafted grey leather strap ( plus an additional NATO strap ) with a complimentary engraved stainless steel buckle .

Enera ’ s Bodyguard series is priced starting at about $ 1,685 .
