The 18k white gold case is set with round-brilliant diamonds, and the background dial is black lacquer. Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph and tachymeter. The movement is the automatic chronograph caliber 4130, with a Parachrom hairspring that is impervious to magnetic fields.
