Indeed, the watchmakers at Edox know that good design is not something that comes together haphazardly and that details cannot be left to chance. The elements chosen in the design of the Classe Royale Ultra Slim are expertly married to enhance the watch’s composition, stylishness and exclusivity.
This case width, for example, is a pleasing 32 mm, but it is the watch’s thinness that even the most discreet or particular woman will appreciate. The Classe Royale Ultra Slim is a mere 5 mm thick, hence the name. This low profile is not only practical for daily wear, it makes for an easy transition to more formal wear when an evening out is in store.

The dial is well conceived. The solid white background of the central rectangular space makes it easy to read the time: the hour hand is completely inside the white space while the minute hand extends slightly outside of it overlapping the hour and minute markers. The date window sits neatly at 6 o’clock. Outside of the white central rectangle are elongated hour and minute markers that extend from the edge of the rectangle to the bezel. The overall effect is that of a starburst, which is superbly integrated into the construction of the multi-part bezel. A large Roman numeral 12 marker acts as the focal point of the dial and its stretched appearance is cohesive with the energetic tone of the design.
Choosing the right strap for such a thin watch is essential. Edox selects white calfskin and a pin buckle, which not only matches the dial, but enhances the watch’s lively vibe, too. The buckle and strap are initialized with the Edox name, which is also engraved in the solid caseback.
The fluted and initialized crown, with the Edox hourglass logo on a black surface, is suitably petite to match the thinness of the case. A stainless steel case and antireflective sapphire crystal keep the thin Swiss made quartz movement in this timekeeper water resistant to 99 feet.
