The 44 mm outer case is crafted from black DLC-coated titanium, retaining the iconic octagonal geometry of the Octo line. The transparent sapphire mid-case is precisely cut, allowing a multi-angled view of the movement’s architecture and mechanical animation.
The highly skeletonized movement appears to float within the case, with 11 bridges extending radially from the center, doubling as hour markers. Each bridge is coated with fluorescent green Super-LumiNova, creating a vivid contrast against the deep black case. The barrel sits at 12 o’clock, while the flying tourbillon occupies the 6 o’clock position.
At 3 o’clock, a small aperture on one of the bridges functions as a crown position indicator. It is controlled via a black ceramic pusher integrated into the crown:
-
When the indicator turns red, the crown is in the time-setting position;
-
Pressing the button again returns the indicator to black, locking the setting mechanism.
The watch is powered by the BVL 206 hand-wound skeleton movement, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and offering a 64-hour power reserve. A green power-reserve indicator is visible on the back of the movement.
It is fitted with a black alligator leather strap. The official retail price has not yet been announced.
