Is the mother-of-pearl dial real?

No. Stührling describes it as a mother-of-pearl-style textured dial, so it is a finish rather than natural shell.

What do the subdials show?

The day of the week, the date and a 24-hour indicator. They are set with the crown.

Is 38mm too big for a women's watch?

38mm is large for a women's dress watch and wears close to a men's mid-size case. It suits a wrist that wants presence rather than a delicate look.

Does it need winding?

No. The Japanese quartz movement runs on a battery and needs no winding; only the battery is replaced.

Is it water resistant?

Stührling does not state a water-resistance rating for this model, so treat it as splash-resistant at most and keep it out of water.

How does it compare with a two-hand dress watch?

It offers more functions and sparkle than a plain two-hand quartz watch, at the cost of a busier dial.
