Love the look of a square-faced watch, but like the ease of a round dial?  Who says you can’t have your watch and wear it, too?  Raymond Weil Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Men’s Watch 4878- ST -00200 combines all the easy readability of a circular dial into the streamlined design of a square watch face.

The clean black and silver design is minimalist while the roman numerals edging off the dial add a touch of unique flavor to this watch.  The luminescent hands coordinate nicely with the silver of the watch and allow you to track their movement through the chronograph dials with ease.  The chronograph, date function, and self-winding automatic movement make sure that this watch keeps you running on time, all the time.  With scratch resistant sapphire crystal dial window, stainless steel bracelet adjustable from 5”-7”, and water resistance of up to 30 meters/100 feet, this watch is appropriate for a wide range of activities.
