The timepiece boasts similar design cues to the jacket with the color palette and industrial details. The noticeable colorway highlights bright orange and green, with the watch's 42mm ceramic case and dial complete in the dark khaki color with a matte coat.
The bright orange hits the 'Super-LumiNova' with the same bright later under the dial with cut-out details in the form the numbers and stencils. The signature jacket design boasts a reversible element, revealing the orange to be the exterior as an option.
