The 42 mm stainless steel case features a sporty yet elegant profile, complemented by a black fixed bezel with engraved minute markers (10–60 scale), enhancing its dynamic presence. The black dial offers a clean and highly legible layout with applied baton indices and luminous hands. The red central seconds hand and distinctive red “T” counterweight add a subtle but striking racing touch.
