The Platina diary (D1012) in A5 size is a mid-size diary with a thermal PU leather cover. A5 is a handy page format: small enough to carry in a bag, with enough room on each page for plans, schedules and notes. The cover is a warm tan, and its grain is soft and slightly mottled, with darker patches that give it the look of aged leather instead of a flat, glossy finish.
The spine side carries the design detail that sets this diary apart. A band of fine vertical grooves runs down the left edge of the cover, forming a ribbed strip that echoes the lines of a bound book. The rest of the front is left plain, so the ribbed edge and the grain are the only decoration. The year 2027 is embossed near the top right of the cover in a darker tone, so it shows as a mark pressed into the surface and not as printed lettering.
The closure is a tab that crosses the front and fastens at the side with a rectangular metal plate in a gold-tone finish. The sheet lists a magnetic side lock, so the diary stays shut in a bag or on a desk without a button or an elastic band. The bright metal stands out against the tan cover and is the single accent on the front. The corners of the diary are gently rounded, which softens the shape.
