Replica Saxonia Big Date – Premium 1:1 Dress Watch Guide
The replica Saxonia Big Date brings one of watchmaking's most recognisable complications into a slim, everyday dress watch. Instead of hiding the date at 3 o'clock, it puts a twin-aperture window front and centre at 12, framed by a clean, uncluttered dial that reads at a glance. This guide covers what the piece includes, how it is built, and what to expect on delivery. It is a replica piece and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the original brand.

Materials and Specifications
The case is cut from 316L stainless steel and finished by hand, so the bezel and lug tops take a bright polish while the sides stay softly brushed. Up front sits a flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, and the display caseback is held by a screw-fit ring. Inside, the movement is a decorated automatic with blued screws, Geneva-style stripes and a power reserve that comfortably covers a weekend off the wrist. Hands and indices are rhodium-plated and applied rather than printed, which gives the dial real depth under light. The date discs are printed on a matte base so the two digits line up evenly in the aperture.
What size is the Saxonia Big Date case?
The case measures 38.5 mm across with a thickness of roughly 9 mm and a 20 mm lug width, a classic dress-watch proportion that suits medium and larger wrists alike.
Does the big date change over instantly?
Yes. The twin discs jump together in a single step shortly after midnight rather than rolling slowly, so the window never shows a half-finished date.
Will the strap fit a larger wrist?
The strap is supplied on a standard length that fits wrists up to about 20 cm, and spare straps in other sizes or colours can be added when ordering.
