- 30m water resistance
The M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese features the 'Baladin' complication, designed by Vincent Calabrese to offer a fluid and visible passage between hours, unlike abrupt jump-hour systems.
The case, designed by Eric Giroud, is 40 x 43.7 x 12.7mm with a 21mm lug spacing, a stepped bezel, and a predominantly polished finish.
The dial includes a white bombé sapphire minute ring with a black minute track, a large arrow-tipped central minute hand over a blue disc, and an aperture below displaying the hours.
Vincent Calabrese, co-founder of AHCI, is recognized for challenging industry conventions and is known for creating the Golden Bridge for Corum and developing wandering hours and tourbillons.
The watch is described as more classic and refined than the M.A.D.1 and M.A.D.2, yet retains a modern signature feel with a fun factor due to its distinct time display.
