- 40.3mm diameter case

- 50m water resistance

The new case is barrel-shaped with integrated lugs, sharper and more angular than the previous round case, and lacks protective shoulders.
The 18.25mm thickness is largely due to a highly domed, 10mm-thick sapphire crystal.
The time display features three off-centred rings for hours, minutes, and seconds, appearing to float with a pronounced 3D effect, held by nine titanium columns.
The X-Nihilo calibre is developed in-house by Trilobe, with components partially produced near Paris and assembled in their Paris atelier.
The movement design features stepped bridges inspired by antique French watchmaking, with a central rotor and balance wheel with timing screws.
The movement finishing includes sand-blasted and brushed surfaces, contrasting with diamond-polished bevels and black-polished screws, with rhodium-plated or 5N gold plating on the main plate depending on the version.
The watch is available on a new, color-matched, striped rubber strap with a spring-loaded folding clasp.
