3 HANDS & DATE
Many characteristics of the Predator, both technical and aesthetic, are inspired directly from racing cars - like the brake disks and the pedals - and are found throughout the watch. Despite the watch's avant-gardist nature, the Predator is crafted with respect to horological tradition.
Race refined components.
First we have the five-layered dial, the base of which is in a honeycomb that ensures absolute rigidity while maximising transparency and lightness.
The sectorial seconds at 9h are indicated by means of a double hand: a shorter hand indicates 0 to 30 seconds, which is then replaced by a longer hand indicating 30 to 60 seconds.
In red gold or steel, the hands of the hours, minutes and chronograph are diamond-cut, hollowed, and then treated with SuperLumiNova to ensure excellent legibility and a lighter vision of time.
The bezel is attached by 8 distinctive screws with heads in the brand's logo and the back by 6 torx screws, reinforcing the racing spirit of the watch.
Another exclusivity of this model: the case, which is constructed in a complex sandwich of superimposed layers allowing considerable personalisation according to owner's taste.
The Predator is available in several case materials: red gold, red gold/ceramic, steel, steel/ceramic.
