Designed in France, it showcases advanced watchmaking expertise by merging aesthetics and performance. The round-shaped case crafted in stainless steel delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and outstanding durability.

The Dial

The dial showcases remarkable ingenuity with its skeleton finish, revealing the intricate inner mechanism in full view.

A carefully integrated minute track allows for easy and precise time reading. The dial also features a seconds hand shaped like a stylized RSD aircraft, a nod to the Patrouille de France jets.

It offers a power reserve of 42 hours, keeping the watch running for nearly two full days without movement.

The Strap
