The watch displays a geocentric view of the heavens, with a 3D representation of the Northern Hemisphere engraved on the underside of a domed sapphire crystal.
The moon phase is accurate to one day every 40.3 years, and the illuminated portion of the Moon always faces the Sun.
The movement incorporates Ulysse Nardin's patented worldtime mechanism, allowing local time adjustment via pushers without disturbing astronomical calculations.
The movement features a silicon escapement and silicon hairspring, technologies pioneered by Ulysse Nardin.
The dial includes five interconnected astronomical indications, time, date, and tidal coefficients, with an aventurine base evoking a star-filled sky.
The case combines satin-finished and polished 18k rose gold with a black DLC-treated titanium middle case and bezel.
The watch is presented on a black alligator leather strap with a folding clasp in black DLC-treated titanium and rose gold.
The watch's center features a top-down view of the Northern hemisphere as seen from the north pole, formed as part of the glassbox sapphire crystal's center.
