The design is centered around the CW-003 caliber, with redesigned elements to fit a more classical style.
The dial features an off-center time display and an exposed balance wheel and escapement with hand-finished bridges by APJ.
The case is made of 904L stainless steel with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces and a scalloped groove on the flanks.
The base dials are sandblasted and coated with a varnish containing powdered mother-of-pearl, creating a textured finish.
The offset sub-dial is made of white ceramic with laser-engraved Roman numerals and minute markings filled with black lacquer.
The manual-winding CW-003 movement operates at 28,800 vph, has 29 jewels, and features two barrels for its 144-hour power reserve.
The movement's base plates have a laser-engraved grainy texture, polished bevels, and 2N gold plating.
The watch is available on a suede strap with a Bader deployant clasp or a five-row 904L stainless steel Consort bracelet.
