This is the 38mm Braun BN0021BKG model. I am considering to buy it as a dress-only watch. It will be used only for office and events. Periodically a weekend and date-with-wife time. I understand that it has Arabic numerals but they are pretty small, as you can see. Don’t know if numerals are banned entirely from the dress watch status. It also doesn’t have the date window and its case is as minimal and thin as it gets. So the question to the community is if this has the dress watch status. Your help, advise an insight is appreciated.

    You could get away with it because of the size, but I don’t think it’s any more dressy than say a Casio A158. It’s more stylised and minimalist than dressy. I consider something like a Calatrava with dauphine hands and polished indices a true dress watch. Even something in the Datejust/Oyster Perpetual style looks more dressy to me than this. People frequently wear sports watches with suits, so anything goes, but I wouldn’t get this for the sole purpose of using it as a dress watch.

      Exactly my vibes in general but I needed confirmation from the initiated.
