The wooden inlay rehaut on each dial is designed to evoke the wooden steering wheel and interior elements of the classic DB5.
The 18k red gold version features Breitling's first-ever natural onyx dial.
The "squircle" sub-dials mirror the shape of classic Aston Martin dashboard instruments.
The watches feature pump pushers and a cushion-shaped case with subtle Art Deco grooves, contributing to a 1960s character.
The absence of a date window preserves the dial's balance and clean layout.
The custom Aston Martin rotor is visible through the exhibition caseback.
