Product Specifications
Differentiation Strategy
To achieve a value-oriented price point, this specification utilizes more affordable materials like 316L stainless steel and a mineral crystal.
It incorporates a reliable but mass-produced Japanese automatic movement instead of a more expensive Swiss in-house caliber.
The design is simplified with Arabic numerals and a standard round crown, creating a more modern and less formal appearance.
Finally, it adds luminescence to the hands and markers, enhancing practicality and appealing to a consumer who values function alongside style.
Success Replication
The design retains the iconic square case shape, which is a key visual identifier of the reference product's design lineage.
It maintains the integrated bracelet look, providing a similar wrist presence and style that is central to the Santos's appeal.
The overall aesthetic remains versatile, balancing sportiness with elegance, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions, from casual to formal.
