SOLVIL ET TITUS SABER W06-03423-003 AUTOMATIC MEN WATCH

What's the difference between the 003 (Pepsi) and the 001 (Batman)?

Both share the same 40.5mm case, textured silver white dial, Miyota 8215 automatic movement, sapphire crystal and silver bracelet. The difference is the bezel and accent colour: the 001 has a black-and-blue (Batman) bezel with a blue seconds hand — more understated and versatile. The 003 has a blue-and-red (Pepsi) bezel with a red seconds hand — bolder and more iconic. Both colour names are popular nicknames in the watch community for these classic bezel combinations.

Not sure which Saber 03423 automatic to choose?

The 001 (Batman bezel, black and blue) is the most versatile — it pairs easily with business attire and casual wear. The 002 (dark green dial) is the most on-trend — perfect for men who love green dials. The 003 (Pepsi bezel, blue and red) is the boldest — a classic dive watch look that makes the strongest statement on the wrist.

What does "Pepsi bezel" mean?

A Pepsi bezel is a blue-and-red bi-colour rotating bezel — named after the Pepsi logo's colour scheme. It's one of the most iconic and recognisable designs in dive watch history, originating from vintage GMT watches and now widely celebrated across the watch community as a classic sporty look.

What is the textured dial?

The 03423 series features a distinctive silver white dial with a crosshatched, meteorite-like texture. This gives the surface a tactile, three-dimensional quality that catches light differently from every angle — more visually interesting than a flat or sunburst finish.

What is sapphire crystal and why does it matter?

Sapphire crystal is the most scratch-resistant watch glass available — rated 9 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, just below diamond. Unlike mineral glass, which can pick up hairline scratches over time, sapphire stays virtually flawless with everyday wear.

What does "automatic" mean?

An automatic watch is powered by the natural movement of your wrist. A small rotor inside the case winds the mainspring as you wear it, so no battery is needed. If left unworn for a day or two, it will stop and need to be set again — simply wear it or give the crown a few manual winds to restart.

How long does the power reserve last?

The Miyota 8215 movement holds approximately 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. This means it will continue running for about two days even when not worn.

Can I swim with this watch?

Yes. With 10 ATM water resistance and a rotating bezel for dive timing, the Saber 03423 is suitable for swimming and water sports. It is not intended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.

Is the bracelet adjustable?

Yes. The stainless steel bracelet can be resized by adding or removing links. City Chain offers complimentary bracelet sizing at any outlet.

Is this a good gift?

Absolutely. The Pepsi bezel is one of the most beloved designs in the watch world — any watch enthusiast will recognise and appreciate it. Combined with an automatic movement, sapphire crystal and textured dial, it's a standout gift for birthdays, Father's Day, promotions and milestone celebrations.
