Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch is housed in a 39mm stainless steel case characterized by a combination of matte and polished finishes. The design follows sport-watch conventions of the late 20th century, featuring a rotating bezel finished in black and silver. The crown is shielded by integral case shoulders, and the case back is a screw-down type. The dial is black and features applied luminescent silver markers and matching hands. A date display is positioned at the 3 o'clock marker. The Tiffany & Co. name is printed on the dial, and 'Swiss Made' appears at the bottom. The overall aesthetic is consistent with 1980s diver-style timepieces produced by the company.
