The case combines stainless steel with 18ct red gold on the bezel, onion crown, and chronograph pushers.
The skeletonized dial features a warm brown, brushed CVD finish designed to evoke desert sunset colors.
The movement, Calibre C.741S, is a skeletonized chronograph based on a modified ETA/Valjoux 7750, featuring skeletonized bridges, a gold-plated rotor with Côtes de Genève, and a galvanic black baseplate.
The watch includes a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock, a 12-hour counter at 6, a running seconds at 9, and an analogue date at 3 o'clock.
It is fitted with a sand-colored nubuck leather strap.
The design focuses on color and material contrast, moving away from the typical blues, greens, and silvers seen in other Opus chronograph models.
