The dial's black Alloy 401 base is decorated with a Crossroads guilloché pattern, featuring straight lines reminiscent of tyre treads, executed by Metalem.
The angled tachymeter scale is highlighted in a gradient red, bordered by a silver precision minutes/seconds track.
The caseband is hollowed to accommodate crown protectors, creating a streamlined profile, and is topped with a vintage-inspired glassbox sapphire crystal.
The SXH3 movement is a high-frequency, COSC-certified automatic chronograph running at 5Hz (36,000 vph), capable of measuring 1/10th of a second.
The movement features anthracite sandblasted and diamond-polished bridges contrasted with a pink gold openworked rotor.
The watch can be fitted with an Alcantara or calfskin strap with a deployant clasp.
