Despite retiring in 1997, Dieter Rams' influence is still apparent in Braun's products. The BN0301 is one such example. Driven by a solar-powered date analog quartz movement, it's both convenient and remarkably straightforward, with a stark black dial, easy-to-read sans-serif numerals, and a bright yellow hand marking the seconds, which stands in contrast to the white hour and minute hands. It has a 40 mm stainless steel case in silver or black, mated to a simple, elegant leather strap.
