The Dial and Movement

This model exhibits a silver dial that creates a bold centrepiece in this timepiece. The dial is delicately engraved with Arabic hour indices. Blue steel hour, minute and second hands are mounted at the centre of the dial. Their vibrant colour creates a pleasant contrast to the silver tones of this watch. The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass that has been treated with several layers of anti-reflective treatment. This timepiece is powered by an automatic movement of the calibre L888. This movement provides the watch with up to 72 hours of power reserve.
