- Automatic watch, diameter = 42.5 mm, case thickness = 13.8 mm
- Limited series numbered on the back to 600
- Calfskin strap with folding clasp and quick-release system
- 2-year international warranty
- Movement: Miyota calibre 9132 with power reserve and 24-hour counter, mounted on 26 jewels. Frequency = 28,800 Hz
- Case: Arpiem Racematic in stainless steel, grade 316L, with very low carbon content (less than 0.35%), making it particularly resistant to corrosion and wear.
- 10 ATM water-resistance
- Glass caseback: sapphire crystal revealing the engraved rotor of the automatic movement
- DLC bezel coating: "Diamond Like Carbon", a treatment derived from the high-tech industry (drilling, engines, etc.) and used in watchmaking. It offers extremely high resistance to impact and wear, far superior to that obtained with conventional PVD coating.
- Sub-dial: (the "pandas") inspired by the pressure gauges used on cars in the 1960s.
- Dial design: triple-layered, in reference to the "sandwich" alloy construction of racing car chassis before the advent of carbon.
- Hands: the hour and minute hands are photoluminescent (SUPERLUMINOVA BGW 9).
- The bombe sapphire crystal is rated MOHS 9/10, just below diamond 10/10, making it the best-quality crystal on the market and, above all, the most scratch-resistant. Sapphire crystal is in fact an aluminum oxide crystal, not a glass, and has the same chemical composition and physical properties as natural sapphire.
- 6 layers of anti-reflective coating. The more layers applied, the lower the refraction of light.
- The tachometer: positioned like a diver's watch, the speed is given for each 5-second index on the dial.
