Available in 18K 5N pink gold or stainless steel, the watches pair lacquered rose-gold and deep red dials with the collection's signature hexagonal Maltese Cross bezel and integrated bracelet. Both models are powered by the Calibre 1088/1 automatic movement, which displays the hours, minutes, seconds, and date while providing a 40-hour power reserve through a sapphire crystal caseback. The pink gold model includes a matching bracelet, a white rubber strap, and a white alligator leather strap, while the stainless steel version is supplied with a steel bracelet, a deep red rubber strap, and a red alligator leather strap. An integrated interchangeable system allows the straps to be changed without tools, supporting a range of formal and casual styling options.
