-
The central hand indicates the chronograph seconds.

Powered by the in-house G-04 manual-winding movement, it operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 53-hour power reserve. The movement is equipped with a column wheel and a horizontal clutch mechanism. The centrifugal governor module controls the reset speed of the chronograph hands, preventing potential damage to the movement during chronograph operations. The entire movement is meticulously decorated with satin-brushing, beveling, and polishing, delivering exceptional visual appeal.
