Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The watch features a 40.5 mm stainless steel case constructed in three parts. It incorporates a combination of satin-brushed and polished finishes on its surfaces.

The dial is rendered in a blue fumé finish, decorated with a horizontal pattern often referred to as 'garage door' texturing. It displays luminous indices and hands for time indication. The 3 o'clock position houses a date display, while the 6 o'clock position contains a single, coaxial counter designed to register both chronograph minutes and hours.
