The new model distinguishes itself with its full-metal construction and analog chronograph dial. Both of these features deliver a more refined and bold aesthetic. The new full-metal analog watch features three inset dials. The timepiece also boasts detailed finishes such as hairline treatment on the band and bezel, combined with a polished mirror finish on the sides. These design elements contribute to both durability and a sophisticated visual appeal. The vapor deposition process used for the indexes ensures they are easy to read, as well.
