Why it scores 57
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Proportions1.9 / 30
- Case diameter0 / 125.2 mm apart
- Lug-to-lug0 / 83 mm apart
- Thickness1.9 / 62.1 mm apart
- Lug width0 / 44 mm apart
Design signatures33.5 / 40
- Asymmetric monobloc case4 / 8Angular asymmetric case with the crown guard on the left, clear in the official images. A seam is visible where the guard meets the case, and one reviewer notes the guard is brushed in a different direction from the rest of the case, so it is not clearly one piece. The brand does not describe how the case is built.
- Oversized left-handed crown guard8 / 8Large guard on the left side with the crown inside, in the official images.
- Bezel-release pusher at 2 o'clock7 / 7Pusher at about 2 o'clock, in orange on the black and grey versions and blue on the blue version, in the official images. The brand lists a bidirectional bezel, and a reviewer confirms the bezel locks and is released by pressing it down.
- Broad sword-style hands7 / 7Wide sword-style hour and minute hands filled with lume in the official images.
- Helium escape valve5 / 5Brand lists a helium escape valve, and a valve is visible on the lower right of the case in the official images.
- Hash marks on dial and bezel insert2.5 / 5Dial has baton markers and a fine minute track. The bezel insert combines numerals, dots and hash marks, not hash marks only.

- Complications4 / 8Time only on the no-date versions and a date at 6 o'clock on the calendar versions. The original record lists none.
- Bezel action4 / 4Bidirectional bezel, as on the original, and the official images show a pusher that releases it.
