Age Estimate

Cultural Significance
Represents the 'democratization' of high-tech ceramic, a material popularized by much more expensive brands like Chanel (J12) and Rado, now available to a broader audience via Roamer.
Condition Notes
Very Good/Excellent. The watch appears to be in its original box with its hangtags still attached, suggesting it is either New Old Stock (NOS) or lightly handled. No visible stretching on the ceramic-linked bracelet.
Value Estimate
Retail Price: $400-$550. Secondary market/Pre-owned: $150-$250 depending on the presence of the original box and papers.
Care & Maintenance
Water resistance should be checked every 2 years. Ceramic links are highly scratch-resistant but can be brittle; avoid dropping on hard surfaces (marble/tile). Clean with a micro-fiber cloth and mild soapy water.
