The dial's blue-to-pink gradient is inspired by the "City of the Violet Crown" nickname for Austin, referencing the atmospheric haze at sunset.
The dial features a double-brushed finish with intersecting patterns that catch light, mimicking sunlight spreading across the sky.
Applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, along with smaller geometric markers and polished hands, add depth.
A luminous chapter ring with a 24-hour scale and subtle yellow detailing encircles the dial.
A thin band of pink around the dial's outer edge interacts with the domed crystal to create flashes of color.
BGW9 Swiss Super-LumiNova is applied to the outer ring, hands, and markers for low-light visibility.
The Miyota 9075 movement has been modified by removing the GMT hand, retaining only the independently adjustable local hour hand for time zone adjustments.
The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel with a protective hardening coating to resist scratches.
