The 'Class Sail' watch by Burel brings nautical elements to your wrist so you can check the time in style. Burel's watch simulates the look and feel of a seafaring vessel. Each element of the Class Sail was designed to pay homage to sailboats. The watches were designed and constructed in a workshop in Paris.
The watch's dial is made of strips of precious wood to simulate the beautiful wooden floors of a ship. Surrounding the watch face is black PVD steel which is the same material that modern sailboats are made of. The band of the watch is constructed from the same fabric that boat sails use for maximum durability. As a result of the meticulous design, the Burel Class Sail is the perfect watch for any passionate sailor.
