The watch features a 43 mm case, which has a rounded aesthetic that references the plane's exhaust. The lens is slightly curved which covers the bezel, which gives the watch its aerodynamic look. The lens is also scratch resistant. The watch is powered by a Seiko NH35 automatic movement system, which is a reliable design.
