Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch is housed in a large, rectangular stainless steel case characterized by its reversible mechanism. The five-body construction incorporates a mix of polished and brushed surfaces, complemented by the signature reeded bezel. The watch utilizes sapphire crystals for both the front dial and the inner transparent case back, allowing for viewing of the movement. The dial is crafted from solid silver and features a guilloché pattern. Numerals are applied in a painted Arabic style, set against an outer plain reserve. Functional elements include a subsidiary sunk seconds dial located at the 5 o'clock position, a large double aperture for the date positioned at 7 o'clock, and a sector indicator at 11 o'clock displaying the 8-day power reserve. Time is indicated by blued steel épée hands.
