The substantial power reserve and manual winding caliber position this model for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking approaches within the Souveraine series framework.
Indeed both sides of the CB are gorgeous. An expensive alternative would be to wear two CBs, one dial side and one movement side.😁
