The case is cut from brushed 316L stainless steel, with a polished bezel edge that catches the light without looking flashy. The dial uses a flat matte finish so reflections never wash out the numerals, and the hands and markers are filled with a warm-toned lume that glows steadily after a few minutes in daylight. The strap is a supple calfskin with stitched edges and a signed pin buckle, and the caseback is closed and smoothly engraved for comfortable all-day wear.
