As a result of the robust carbon material, the watch boasts an incredibly lightweight case (carbon is three times lighter than titanium), a more durable and scratch-resistant construction, and hypoallergenic benefits. In addition, the new watch features a uni-directional bezel with a gray 60-minute scale, Tritium hands and markers, luminous accents, and a sapphire scratch-proof crystal. In terms of power, the timepiece is equipped with a Swiss Quartz analog movement called the ELLITA SW 220-1 and delivers up to 200 meters of water resistance.
