The new VANAC models utilize titanium for both the case and bracelet, significantly reducing weight compared to stainless steel while maintaining the watch's substantial dimensions.

A three-dimensional ring holds the hour markers, all filled with LumiBrite, and the 12 o'clock marker is an oversized stylized 'V', a motif also found on the seconds hand counterweight.
