The model in detail

The DSTB seconds hand advances in one distinct step each second, despite its mechanical movement. The mechanism responsible sits on the dial side. The new Stop-Seconds adds the ability to halt the hand by pulling the crown, useful for setting the time precisely.

The red-gold case pairs with a grained grey background and a small opal hour-and-minute subdial. Automatic calibre A&S6303 provides 55 hours of power reserve. Diameter is 42 mm and thickness 12.95 mm; this version is limited to 18 pieces.
