The Carbon1.0 OG is described as the first commercially available watch to use Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) technologies.
The case construction features a 3D-printed carbon-fiber outer case bonded with extreme heat and polymer powder, surrounding an inner Grade 23 titanium case.
The design allows for skeletonized portions of the frame, revealing the inner titanium case, which contributes to an avant-garde aesthetic while retaining traditional sports watch lines.
The black anodized aluminum dial features a 'broken' brick-like motif, intended to visually represent the non-continuous carbon strands used in the CBAM case manufacturing.
The "Additive Upgrade" configuration includes a British-made Alcantara strap with a 3D-printed titanium buckle and a "Impossible" nylon travel case.
