Water resistance is rated at 3 bar, making it both stylish and practical.
Front Dial – Silvered Guilloché Small Seconds
The front side features a vertically brushed silver dial accented with guilloché texture and bold black transferred Arabic numerals. A subdial at 6 o’clock tracks small seconds, accompanied by sleek stick hands and a surrounding foie minute track for refined legibility.
Reverse Dial – Dual Time and Day/Night
On the reverse, a contrasting black Clous de Paris guilloché dial offers dual-time functionality. Baton hour markers and stick hands display a second time zone, while a discreet 24‑hour day/night indicator at 6 o’clock ensures clarity for global travelers.
