This timepiece is powered by an automatic movement based on the Zenith El Primero 400. The matte silver dial features four sunk subdials with guilloche pattern. The English month display sits at 12 o’clock and is combined with the leap year indication. The date and 30-minute counter are positioned at 3 o’clock; the date and the 12-hour counter sit at 6 o’clock, with the English day of the week and the small second at 9 o’clock.
A black tachymeter scale graces the edge of the dial. The matte white gold case is slightly tonneau-shaped with a 40 mm diameter. The slim glossy bezel lends the watch a magnificenr presence on the wrist.
The combination of the white gold case with the silvered dial gives the watch a monochrome and subtle appeal even though it is fitted with numerous sophisticated elements and perfect mechanical functionality.
