Straum Jan Mayen Frozen Metal Titanium Watch
The new Straum Jan Mayen Frozen Metal Titanium introduces the brand’s first grade 5 titanium bracelet, compatible with existing titanium models, and features a distinctive frosted dial created by a proprietary galvanic finishing process. The 38.7 mm case retains the compact proportions of the Jan Mayen collection and houses the La Joux‑Perret G101 automatic movement, offering a 68‑hour power reserve, sapphire crystal on both sides, and 100 metres of water resistance.
