What is a skeleton watch?

A skeleton watch has an open-worked dial that exposes the movement, so you can watch the balance wheel, gear train and winding rotor at work. It turns the mechanics of watchmaking into the design itself. Read more in our guide: What is a skeleton watch?

Why choose a Verso Parnell automatic skeleton watch

• A proven automatic movement. The Seiko NH70A winds itself as you move and keeps running for around 41 hours off the wrist. See our Seiko NH70A movement guide.
• Sapphire crystal on every model. Rated 9 on the Mohs scale, with anti-reflective coating. Here is why sapphire beats mineral glass.
• 316L stainless steel built for the Gulf. Resistant to heat, humidity, salt air and sand, with 5 ATM water resistance.
• Octagonal French design. An eight-sided case that sets Verso Parnell apart from round, generic skeleton watches.
• Ready to gift. Every watch arrives in a wooden presentation box with a 2-year international warranty.

Frequently asked questions

How does an automatic skeleton watch work?

An automatic watch winds itself using a rotor that turns with the motion of your wrist. It needs no battery. Worn daily, it stays running; left off the wrist, the NH70A keeps time for around 41 hours before it needs a few turns of the crown.

Are skeleton watches good for everyday wear in Dubai?

Yes. The 316L steel case resists heat, humidity and sweat, and sapphire crystal protects the open dial from scratches. The Nebula, Silverera and Aurora models are rated 5 ATM (50 metres), so they handle rain, hand-washing and light, surface-level swimming in a pool. They are not ideal for intense water sports or diving.

How much does a Verso Parnell skeleton watch cost?

Automatic skeleton models are priced from AED 1,900 to AED 2,500. You can split payment into four instalments with Tabby.

What are the delivery, warranty and returns terms?

Delivery is free across the UAE. Every watch includes a 2-year international warranty and a 30-day return window for unworn watches in original packaging.

Should I choose an automatic or a quartz watch?

Choose automatic if you want a mechanical movement you can see working and never need a battery. Choose quartz for grab-and-go accuracy at a lower price; see our quartz watches from AED 600 and all octagonal watches, or browse every model in our luxury watches for men in Dubai collection.
