Weighing 75 g, it is crafted from 316L stainless steel and carbon, delivering enhanced robustness and an elegant two-tone look. Highlighted by a striking grey and black marbled effect, it is fitted with a flat sapphire crystal over the dial for protection against impacts, featuring both anti-reflective and scratch-resistant treatments to preserve its aesthetics and ensure effortless readability. At 3 o'clock, a grey knurled crown manipulates the central elements with a comfortable grip. This timepiece boasts water resistance of 10 ATM, secured by its snap-back caseback, engraved and transparent - offering an impressive view of the movement's inner workings.

The Dial

Showcasing a striking carbon black tone, this dial adds a captivating edge to the watch. Elevated by elegant detailing, it delivers reliable everyday readability. Its border reveals a minute track and alternating baton indices marking the hours. At the center, three grey hands glide over the time markers with precision. The slender seconds hand tracks the elapsed seconds, while the hour and minute hands indicate their respective functions. Both main hands feature a Super-LumiNova treatment, as do the hour markers, for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions. A date window joins them at 3 o'clock, while the Swiss Made label and collection name are inscribed at 6 o'clock. The brand name is placed beneath the double index at 12 o'clock as a signature touch.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the in-house Powermatic 80 caliber based on the ETA C07.111, which drives the hands and date with precision. It measures 25.60 mm in diameter, oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz), and features 23 jewels to minimize friction. Resistant to vibrations and equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring, it also resists magnetic fields. This movement delivers a power reserve of approximately 80 hours.

The Bracelet

This black strap pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Crafted in rubber, a material prized for its durability and flexibility, it is enhanced with textured patterns and sits comfortably on your wrist in any condition. Ideal for physical activity, it ensures a comfortable fit at all times. The pin buckle makes adjustment quick and easy. It measures 197 mm in total length - 122 mm for the long end and 75 mm for the short end.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a gala and in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even at a vigorous pace!). That said, our team of watchmaking experts notes that this model is not designed for scuba diving - neither freediving nor tank diving - nor for use with high-pressure washers. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only, and keep the pushers and crown dry.
