The Franck Muller Master Square Date 6002 DT watch features a square stainless steel case with white-painted roman numerals on the black translucent sun dial face with a hand-sewn leather strap band. It also has a self-winding mechanical (automatic) movement with central hours and minutes, and the date in the 6 o’clock position. 88 Uniqueness First introduced in 2005, the Franck Muller Master Square Date inhabits that rare niche of luxury watches where form and function contrive to create funky interpretations on the classic square case watch.

The style is slightly retro, but in a decidedly contemporary style that is sure to last for a few years. You may very well become tired of the look and style of this watch.
