Key Features
- A titanium case measures 42mm in diameter and 15.2mm in thickness, offering a balanced profile that commands attention without overwhelming the wrist. Its matte finish enhances the modern aesthetic while resisting scratches and fingerprints.
- The uni-directional rotating bezel is equipped with luminescent Arabic numerals, allowing for precise dive-style timing when needed and improved visibility in dim environments.
- The dial presents luminous Arabic numerals and hands against a distinctive ruthenium finish—a deep, gunmetal gray with a subtle satin texture that minimizes glare and adds depth to the overall composition.
- A date window is positioned at 6 o’clock, integrating seamlessly into the chronograph layout for intuitive daily use and maintaining visual symmetry.
- The chronograph module includes central seconds, a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, and an integrated day/night indicator—providing comprehensive timing capabilities for sports, travel, or professional applications.
- The self-winding caliber 584 Q movement contains 25 jewels and ensures consistent operation with a 48-hour power reserve, eliminating the need for daily winding while maintaining accuracy.
- Sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday wear, maintaining optical clarity and resistance to scratches due to its exceptional hardness.
- Water resistance rated to 100 meters allows brief submersion in water, such as rain or handwashing, but it is not designed for prolonged immersion, high-impact water sports, or scuba diving.
