Faithful to his reputation as "Master of Complications" Franck Muller launched the "Mariner" range which features distinctive maritime elements such as compass and rose. The large red Arabic art-deco-style hour markers stand out well from the silvered extensive guilloche background.
The watch features a chronograph and a date display; two subdials, where the small second sits at 9 o’clock and the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. A window for the date is positioned at 6 o’clock. The 42 mm x 50 mm tonneau-shaped Curvex art-deco-style gold case is mirror-polished, the caseback is fixed with four screws.
