Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The watch is housed in a 38mm stainless steel case. The design features a smooth, polished bezel and lugs that are shaped to follow the wrist contour. The dial is finished in a blue tone with a distinct texture described as denim-like.

Legibility is maintained through an outer railroad-style minute track. The time is indicated by applied Roman and dot indices combined with a polished feuille handset. The date window is positioned at the 6 o'clock mark, surmounted by the moonphase indicator. Day and month displays are arranged in twin sub-dials.
