Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch is housed in a tonneau-shaped, curved stainless steel case that measures 34 millimeters in width by 47 millimeters in length, with a case thickness of 13 millimeters. The exterior is polished and brushed, featuring oval-shaped pushers for operating the chronograph functions and a case back secured by four screws. The assembly includes a domed sapphire crystal that protects the dial. The guilloche-textured silver dial is marked with stylized radial Arabic numerals and finished with blued steel spade hands. Chronograph readings are facilitated by subsidiary dials for seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour registers. Time and date functions include a red outer graduation for the date, as well as apertures for the days of the week and the months.

- Movement and Escapement
- The timepiece is driven by the Caliber 1188 MC, a self-winding mechanical movement. It is constructed with 37 jewels and features rhodium-plated bridges finished with fausses cotes decoration. The movement incorporates a straight-line lever escapement and a self-compensating flat balance-spring. Technical precision is managed by a monometallic balance adjusted to five positions. A platinum rotor provides the automatic winding capability for the movement. The dial, case, and movement are signed by the maker.
