The Dial and Movement
This model exhibits a silver dial that creates a bold centrepiece in this timepiece. The dial is delicately engraved with Arabic hour indices. Blue steel hour, minute and second hands are mounted at the centre of the dial. Their vibrant colour creates a pleasant contrast to the silver tones of this watch. The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass that has been treated with several layers of anti-reflective treatment. This timepiece is powered by an automatic movement of the calibre L888. This movement provides the watch with up to 72 hours of power reserve.
The Case and Finishing Touches
This classic timepiece features a stainless steel case. The case measures 40mm in diameter and 9.35mm in depth, creating a flattering and comfortable fit on the wrist of the wearer. The case features an exhibition case back that is created using sapphire glass. This allows the wearer to enjoy the mechanics that power this elegant timepiece. The watch is secured on the wrist using a stylish anthracite grey strap. The upper portion of the strap is made from alligator leather whilst the underside is made from calf leather. This combination of materials provides a high-quality and comfortable finish. The strap is fastened using a triple safety folding clasp that secures with a push-piece opening mechanism. Additionally, this model is water resistant up to 3 bar.
