The timepiece is inspired by the North America Nebula with its ombre-like finish that includes a deep black at the top with warm brown below to give it a root beer color scheme. The watch is constructed with a titanium case that measures in at 44.8mm that has been treated to a super-hard coating to ensure it's ready to withstand the rough and tumble of everyday use.
