Case, Bezel & Crystal

The crown is set at the 3 o'clock position, it is signed with the Dreyfuss & Co logo in silver set into a deep black surround, the crown is coin cut and has two adjustment positions and does not screw down. At the 4 o'clock position there is a subtle recessed pusher that is operated by the supplied tool, somewhat akin to a metal stylus with a plastic nib (One could imagine that you could use a small screwdriver or plastic pusher should you not have the tool on you but I would advise against this lest you damage the watch). This is the slightly eccentric method by which you set the secondary time zone, I admit when used with the tool it is easy to operate (with the watch off the wrist). It does have a marked improvement in the aesthetics of the watch as there is no need for a visible pusher (it is a dress watch after all) but it does limit the practicality of changing the secondary timezone if you are on the road (or unless you carry the tool with you). For me it is not a deal-breaking problem and I like the quirkiness of it, plus this is a dress watch, not a pilot or sports watch so in this respect I can take a little form over function.

The caseback is a solid polished stainless steel construction, it is held in place by four screws that overreach into the lugs and sit beyond the natural curve of the watch. Engraved in the centre of the caseback we again see the Dreyfuss & Co logo, set around this is engraved Handmade Switzerland, Sapphire and Seafarer. Also engraved is the individual issue number of the watch. Most of the engravings are self-explanatory however the Seafarer requires a little more explanation. The Seafarer Standard is Dreyfuss & Co's inhouse waterproofing process, this appears to closely mirror Rotary's Dolphin Standard, which is their moniker for what is ostensibly the same standard.
