Multi-level dial features a black metallic outer rim with a large cutout in the center displaying a baseplate with a contrasting shade of black color & a fine Coates de Geneva finish.
Applied polished rose gold dot hour markers, filled with luminous material.
Oversized 3 & 9 Roman numerals gives the dial a bold & instantly recognizable look.
Polished rose gold hands with skeleton tips & luminous filled center.
Complications:
Date indicated by the red half-moon tipped rose gold hand pointing to the current date printed on the outer rim of the dial.
Day & Month windows located beneath the 12 o'clock position. The lower level of the dial has a cutout allowing a view of a considerable portion of the day & month wheel - creating an impressive visual depth effect.
Moonphase window sub-dial located at the 6 o'clock position.
Small seconds hand set in the center of the moonphase sundial at the 6 o'clock position.
Power reserve indicator window at the 12 o'clock position.
An impressive technical accomplishment: The day, date, month & moonphase functions may all be changed as at any time of the day or night, even close to midnight - an operation that would damage most other movements.
Detachable lugs allowing for an easy way to switch straps & fit a steel bracelet to the watch.
