The round case, crafted from carefully polished 316L stainless steel, measures an impressive 42 mm in diameter, 14.5 mm thick, and weighs a balanced 117 g - a confident presence on the wrist without feeling bulky. Its polished finish adds a subtle brilliance that sets this exceptional timepiece apart.

The Dial

The dial is a study in clarity and refinement, with a matte finish that contrasts beautifully with the Arabic numerals and the indices of the minute track along the edge. The gray background is expertly crafted for perfect legibility in any lighting condition. The hands are coated with a luminescent compound for optimal visibility in the dark, enhancing everyday usefulness. Two additional sub-dials dedicated to the chronograph adorn the dial: a 30-minute counter and a 60-second counter, both harmoniously positioned. The dial details are protected by a domed sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance and exceptional clarity, with anti-reflective treatment on both sides to eliminate any glare. A date window at 3 o'clock adds a smooth, practical function for a quick, effortless daily reference.
