Brilliant, that is the sheen of the case. Scintillating magnificently against the rays of light. The time-piece is designed beautifully, with a minimalistic dial. The time indices and hands catch the eye while the center of the dial draws attention to the entire artistic expression of the historic Cincinnati Union Terminal clock. The strap compliments the minimalistic design and color tone excellently, and very comfortable to boot. Small, but flashier than the huge cases that scream for attention. I have had more compliments on this time-piece than some x10 the price. A very, very happy addition to my collection. Keep up the incredible work CWC!
