Protected by a sapphire crystal that is anti-reflective on both sides.  The bezel is micro blasted black ceramic with 6 relief black PVD H-shaped titanium screws.

Skeletanized hands are gold plated and coated with Superluminova.  At the 9’clock position is the Retrograde Date and at 5 o’clock you can see the Tourbillon cage powering the HUB6121 movement. 

To offset all of this opulence is a molded black rubber strap.  Power reserve is 90 hours and it is water-resistant to 100m or 10ATM.
