Who should buy which.

The Classic Dream 42 White Dial: Someone who wants a slim, formal Swiss watch for work, weddings and gifts. Choose a PR 100 if you want 100 m of water resistance and a bracelet, or an automatic for a mechanical movement.

The Classic Dream 42 Black Dial: A buyer who wants a black-dial, slim dress watch for evenings and formal occasions. Choose the white version if you want a brighter, more casual feel, or a sports watch for water.

Before you order.

At 5 bar it is a dress watch, not a swimming watch, and it runs on a quartz battery. Roman numerals are a traditional choice, so it is more formal than a sports watch.

Black dials show fingerprints and dust more than white ones, and 5 bar means no swimming. It runs on a battery.
