The 57.04 Iris watch redefines contemporary horology with a dial that shifts color depending on light and viewing angle. Set within a 40 millimeter stainless steel case just 11.85 millimeters thick, the chronograph balances sleek proportions with refined detail. A concave bezel and stepped lugs highlight elegance, while the left handed monopusher chronograph movement sets it apart. Inside, a hand wound caliber developed with Sellita powers the mechanism, visible through a sapphire caseback that reveals an anthracite mainplate and a 4N gold coated bridge, each hand finished for added distinction.
The color shifting dial elevates the watch into a piece of living art. Floating indices are laser etched for dimensional depth, while diamond cut blue hands filled with luminous material ensure clarity in low light. With a 60 hour power reserve and 100 meters of water resistance, the 57.04 Iris blends artistry with durability, creating a collectible statement in modern watchmaking.
