The watch is powered by the L791 caliber, offering a 68-hour power reserve and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock, along with a chronograph function. Encased in stainless steel with an exposed case back and a bi-directional rotating black ceramic bezel, this watch is water-resistant to 100m and secured by a stainless steel bracelet with a double safety folding clasp.
