Key Features
- Premium Stainless Steel Construction: The case is crafted from brushed stainless steel with polished finished beveled corners, creating a dynamic interplay of textures that enhances both durability and visual appeal. This dual-finish treatment not only resists scratches and wear but also adds depth to the watch’s profile, ensuring it maintains its refined look over time.
- Octagonal Bezel Design: A defining characteristic of the Laureato line, the octagonal bezel combines brushed and polished surfaces in a geometric pattern that echoes architectural influences. This design choice pays homage to the collection’s origins while providing a modern, distinctive silhouette that sets it apart from traditional round watches.
- Blue Guilloche Dial with Clou de Paris Pattern: The main dial features a rich blue hue enhanced by a fine Clou de Paris hobnail guilloche texture—a delicate, hand-inspired pattern that diffuses light beautifully. This intricate detailing adds a layer of sophistication and ensures the dial remains visually engaging from every angle. The blue sub-dials maintain color consistency while supporting the chronograph’s functional layout.
- Integrated Chronograph Functionality: Equipped with a fully operational chronograph, this watch allows for precise measurement of elapsed time using the two sub-dials on the main face. The chronograph is activated via polished stainless steel pushers flanking the crown, offering smooth, tactile feedback with each press. The crown itself is also polished, ensuring a cohesive design and reliable time-setting operation.
- Blue Dial Flange with Printed Track: The outer edge of the dial includes a printed minute and seconds track in matching blue, enhancing legibility without disrupting the monochromatic harmony. This subtle detail supports accurate time reading and reinforces the watch’s clean, unified appearance.
