Design

The structure is described as three-body construction with sapphire crystals and a transparent screwed-down case back, allowing a view of the movement. A defining feature is the winding crown, which is protected by a patented security lever designed to facilitate winding while underwater. The black dial is configured with luminous Arabic numerals and indexes. It houses two subsidiary dials, specifically for the seconds and a 30-minute register. The perimeter of the dial features an outer ring printed with a tachometer graduation. Time is indicated by luminous black baton hands. The dial, case, and movement are signed by the maker.
