Very nice looking watch but I am not familiar with this brand. Could you tell me what the "lever-toggle" thing at approximately the 8:00 position does?

Thanks

It is made in Italy. the dials are on the oppisite side. it is a cover (waterproof cover with a gasket) to the setting dials

Nice watch but for me it is way too big. Looks like it will be visible at night.

One simple question: Is it comfortable to wear the entire day?
Judging by the pic, it seems, to me at least, that it might get "in the way".......

How big is your wrist?
