Gilt Heritage, Timeless Precision
The Timethis REF.2303RS2 GILT is a refined mechanical timepiece that blends vintage watchmaking aesthetics with high-grade Swiss engineering. Its 38mm 316L stainless steel case and slim 10mm profile create an elegant silhouette ideal for daily wear or formal occasions. The distinctive engraved Chinese index dial introduces a cultural design rarely seen in modern horology, highlighted by warm gilt-style hands and markers that echo classic mid-century watches. A dome-shaped sapphire bubble lens enhances the vintage character while protecting the dial. Powered by the renowned ETA2892 automatic movement and visible through the transparent caseback, this watch combines heritage design, mechanical precision, and enduring craftsmanship.
Engraved Chinese Index Dial
The most distinctive element of the watch is its engraved Chinese index dial, presenting traditional characters arranged in a circular layout. This uncommon design brings cultural depth and artistic expression to the timepiece, creating a striking visual identity while preserving the clarity and symmetry expected from classic dress watches.
Elegant Gilt Vintage Aesthetic
Inspired by classic gilt dial watches, the deep black dial contrasts beautifully with golden-edged hands and markers. The warm metallic accents create a refined vintage atmosphere, enhancing legibility while adding understated luxury that captures the spirit of mid-century mechanical watch design.
Swiss ETA2892 Automatic Movement
At the heart of the watch beats the renowned ETA2892 automatic movement, a respected Swiss caliber known for its slim architecture, accuracy, and reliability. Offering a minimum 40-hour power reserve, it ensures consistent performance while allowing wearers to admire the movement through the transparent caseback.
Slim Yet Durable Construction
The 38mm 316L stainless steel case is paired with a slim 10mm thickness, ensuring a balanced presence on the wrist. A screw-in crown and 100-meter water resistance add durability and practicality, while the dome-shaped sapphire crystal provides excellent scratch resistance and vintage-inspired charm.
