The metal’s neutral tone emphasizes the dial design and movement finishing without competing for visual attention.

The caliber delivers precision timekeeping through traditional construction methods, with each component finished according to FERDINAND BERTHOUD’s standards. The movement is visible through the caseback, allowing owners to observe the mechanics in operation.
