This model maintains the iconic chronograph layout and robust Oyster case, positioning it as a flagship sports chronograph within the brand's professional collection. It represents a subtle evolution of a highly successful design, incorporating updated technical specifications while preserving its recognizable aesthetic. This reference features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from Oystersteel, paired with a black Cerachrom bezel with an engraved tachymetric scale.
