Choose between ref. 598.201.A or 598.202.A , for a silver or back dial.
The  Kuros models ref. 598.201.A (light dial) and 598.202.A (black dial) are housed in a 44mm case, made of titanium and 18K red gold, with  polished, satin and sandblasted finishes.

The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, and the date, and it is also equipped with a chronograph function. The face is fitted with three-dimensional hands (3D) and an easy-read function. In a single glance, one can read the time at night or during the day (the hands are treated with Super-LumiNova), while a special hand, which can measure time up to or down from 4 hours and 30 minutes, enables the exact reading of hours and minutes in the chronograph function.

This hand accurately mimics the shape of the three-part logo which is also found on the crowns, faces, and screws at the back. The bottom of the watch mimics the shape of similar triangles. The three angles of the triangles resemble the three parts of the Cyrus brand logo.

A crown next to the figure 9 was added with the purpose of creating balance, and especially to remind the user of the limited series, and reveal the watch number. By moving the crown to the left, the serial number of the watch is disclosed mysteriously on the plate fitted at the base. An individual series is limited to only 188 watches.

The mechanism is well hidden behind the back of the watch though the quality and excellent manufacture. The selection was guided by the desire to keep the heart of the collection visible, the perishing of time itself – as well as the mysterious, over 2,500-year-old coin.

The case back of every Kuros collection watch made of a gold and titanium alloy contains an identical copy of a more than 2,500-year-old coin, fashioned during the reign of Cyrus. Today, the original is owned by the founders of the Cyrus watchmaking brand in Switzerland. The coin is a remnant of the first currency in the world; thus, it bears a great historic as well as financial value. All gold Cyrus watches bear the imprint of this very coin (5N) containing the images of a lion and a bull, the indisputable symbols of authority during the reign of Cyrus.

Every titanium product from the Kuros collection is engraved with a special message for the owner, either on the coin or around the trademark logo: " Share the values of Cyrus the Great, the powerful conqueror, considered as the precursor of human rights. His spirit of conquest is still living in this timepiece. Be part of it. "

Kuros collection products are available in exclusively designed presentation cases manufactured in the heart of Switzerland in a traditional carpentry shop by carpenters inspired by the very watches.
Each presentation case also contains a spare rubber (smooth or grooved) or crocodile leather band.
