Fitted with a green and red countdown specially designed for racing, its dial is decorated with painted indexes which help to reinforce the nautical spirit of the timepiece.
The case back, the bezel and the winding crown are all machined from 316L steel, a metal that is the standard on many of the pieces manufactured on the market today.
