The AB measures 38mm by 9.8mm thick, with a 19mm lug width and maintains Biver's signature brushed and polished geometric angular lugs.
The AB, short for Acier Biver, combines a 38mm steel case with a 9.8mm profile and a brand-new manually wound movement.
The dial features a multi-level gold dial with a grained central texture, 2N gold metallicized indices, and an onyx stone-dial ring for the hour and minute track.
The 2N yellow-gold dial has a fine-grained black DLC coating, with the warm champagne tone emerging to frame the dial's center and the small-seconds display.
The proprietary caliber JCB-004 is developed in collaboration with Le Cercle des Horlogers, made in gold, and has two barrels in series with a distinctive winding system.
The hour and minute track uses onyx elements, with 2N gold hour markers and a railroad minute track applied using a metallization process.
The power reserve indication is shown with a moving pin in an aperture on the dial, going from left to right as the watch is wound.
The movement bridges and mainplate are crafted from PD210, a white gold alloy with a higher palladium content.
