42mm, black ceramic bezel, it looks so serious to me. These new straps appear too thin for my taste, but that is always easy to adjust

as I know, the ceramic diver is the only 42 with this finish as carbon diver and all older models have the rainfall bezel... also all 44mm (except first series of SS and RG) have the new vertical lines finish bezel... all new tourbillon ROs and ROOs and c... 

I've got one on order.
