£384.90
This timepiece boasts an impressive size with a firm unidirectional bezel and a smoothly rotating outer minute bezel. The inner fixed bezel features a 24-hour clock, adding a touch of Le Mans-inspired dreaminess. Its blue face, adorned with striking red hands, large seconds hand circle, and batons, hosts a practical 24-hour clock and a date function at 3 o’clock. Crafted with plexiglass for safety, it avoids shattering risks. The Milanese bracelet, a stylish replacement, complements the chrome case, which exhibits minimal marks from its sparing use.
