The exclusive piece holds a plethora of fine details for the watch aficionado - the bold, unpolished steel case, the dial with a night-blue/anthracite shimmer with light grey auxiliary dials and vivid blue and red accents. Even the bevelled hour indexes have been engraved with the minute numerals. The central spearhead minute counter with its orange tip is the ultimate highlight on this perfect dial.
