Elysee Nestor Automatic Watch

Made in Germany since 1960, Elysee watches undergo a rigorous set of background checks and ultimately pass through the hands of the master watchmaker in Düsseldorf. The Nestor is no different. Sporting a silver dial with polished stick markers at every hour, it dons a look that’s at once minimal and complex. Two open hearts offer a peek at the movement that powers the watch: a Miyota 82S5 of 21 jewels. Seconds are tracked via the subdial at 5 o’clock, which slightly overlaps the other open heart at 6, creating an almost venn-diagram look. And though the guts of the watch are on bold display, they’re adequately protected thanks to the stainless steel case and sapphire-coated mineral crystal. If you spill a bit of water on it, not to worry: It’s 50-meters water resistant, to boot.
