This vintage watch takes its cues from Italian frogmen watches in the 1930's, but it features a modern case size and today's high tech, precision assembly. A special "sandwich" dial is used where the lower layer is painted with vintage Luminova material and the upper layer is laser cut to let the markers show through. Its an old world technique to match the style. The proven and reliable Unitas 6497 mechanical movement is the centerpiece of the watch with striped finishing and blued screws visible via an exhibition case back. It comes with a domed scratch resistant sapphire crystal with AR coating on the inside.
