The exterior case parts are mix of black coated frame and carbotech master links. To form the plates of carbotech from which these components are made, thin sheets of carbon fibers are compressed at a controlled temperature under high pressure together with a high-end polymer. PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone). binding the composite material and making it even stronger and more durable. The carbon fibers used are very long to ensure great aesthetic uniformity; the sheets are super–imposed and pressed together in such a way that the fibers of each layer are set at a different angle to the ones above and below it. This produces a stripped matte black appearance which varies according to the cut of the material, resulting in each watch being truly unique. The visual symphony carries on inside the case where the most recognizable features are the move-ments red motor housings and discrete indicator plate sourounding hour minute and second. The Time Belts are black while the numerals are executed in strong red contributing to a decidedly sporty, racing appearance. Exotic – Rare – And Absolutely Breathtaking!
