At its heart beats the in-house automatic Calibre 1300.3, a movement made from an aluminium alloy with a titanium/tungsten mix rotor, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback . The integrated titanium bracelet features articulated links to adapt to different wrist sizes and a double deployant clasp adjustable by ±5mm .
