Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch is housed in a round stainless steel case designed for diver usage, featuring a water-resistant construction with a screwed case-back. The dial is black and incorporates applied radial indices highlighted with luminous dots to assist with legibility. The timepiece utilizes an inclined inner bezel that is bidirectional and graduated for a 60-minute scale, specifically intended for decompression timing. Manipulation of the decompression bezel is managed by a secondary crown situated at the 11 o'clock position on the case-band.
