Its ocean blue dial is embellished with a “big12” and SuperLuminova luminescent indices. This chronograph model has a case in stainless steel with screwed back and crown, a unidirectional turning bezel in eloxed aluminium and lateral protection for the crown. It is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 m).
