The Blue Enamel version features a guilloché fliqué gold hour disc covered with blue enamel by Donzé Cadrans, with a radial pattern and nautical vibes.

The Freak One Guilloché has a sand-colored CVD-treated guilloché hour disc with a maille (diamond) pattern, described as more understated.

The new titanium case has brushed and sandblasted surfaces with polished bevels, offering a more conventional look compared to previous models.

The UN-240 calibre utilizes silicon for its oversized oscillator and balance spring, and DiamonSil (silicon with synthetic diamond surface treatment) for the escapement wheel and anchor.

Time is displayed with the central bridge acting as the minute hand and a marker on the lower disc indicating hours, set by turning the bezel after unlocking a tab at 6 o'clock.

The watch is wound by rotating the case back, utilizing the Grinder automatic winding system which generates increased torque.

The bezel geometry has been refined and softened, drawing inspiration from the [Super] Freak, with fewer and softer notches for a more contemporary feel.

The Blue Enamel hour disc is crafted in white gold for thermal stability and features a sunray pattern coated in intense blue enamel, a process involving multiple firings at around 800°C.
