Some technical aspects: the manually wound 42 jewel movement is water-resistance up to 30 meters and housed inside a 60 component zirconium case fitted with an articulated front lug which is reminiscent of MB&F Horological Machine 4 and helps make the watch more comfortable to wear by wrapping around the wrist.
