Key Features
- Tonneau-Shaped Titanium Case: The signature curved case design, first introduced by Franck Muller in 1992, offers a bold three-dimensional silhouette that sets it apart from traditional round or rectangular watches.

- Black Dial with Luminous Hands and Date Display: The deep black dial enhances readability while adding a sleek, modern contrast. Luminous hands allow for clear visibility in low-light conditions, and the date window at 6 o’clock provides practical functionality without disrupting the dial’s clean aesthetic.
- Sapphire Crystal: The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial from daily wear, maintaining clarity and preserving the watch’s pristine appearance over time.
- Integrated Black Leather/Rubber Strap: The strap is seamlessly integrated into the case, extending the tonneau curvature for a cohesive and dynamic look. Combining black leather with rubber elements, it offers both comfort and a sporty edge suitable for active lifestyles.
- Vanguard Collection Design: Part of Franck Muller’s Vanguard line, this watch embraces a sporty yet refined aesthetic. The hand-polished and hand-brushed applique numerals, along with the sculpted crown, contribute to its distinctive identity and modern appeal.
