Watch crowns, decorated with diamond, are located at the "3" o’clock position. The watch is complemented by alligator leather straps with gold buckles. The Blue Velvet watch has a blue strap, harmoniously combined with the colors of sapphires on the dial and the Rose Red watch has a red strap, which looks wonderful with rubies.
