The case is steel that has been through a vacuum chamber and given a diamond-like carbon layer — DLC — grown into the surface rather than laid over the top of it. It ends up harder than the steel underneath, which is the opposite of how a coating normally behaves, and it is the reason the lugs and the case sides stay black instead of silvering at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst all that black the dial reads almost impossibly pale. It is a flat, finely grained ice blue with three black counters cut into it, and the contrast is the whole watch: black case, black bezel, black counters, and one soft blue field sitting in the middle of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold is used in four places and nowhere else — the fluted crown, the two pushers, the hour and minute hands, and the numerals cut into the tachymeter bezel. That restraint is what keeps a black-and-gold watch from looking like a costume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This One Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDLC Black, Not Paint\u003c\/strong\u003e — diamond-like carbon deposited onto the steel in a vacuum, harder than the case it sits on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIce Blue Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e — pale robin's-egg blue, finely grained rather than glossy, so it holds its colour in a dim room instead of flaring under a lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Crown And Pushers\u003c\/strong\u003e — a fluted screw-down crown between two screw-down pushers, all gold against the black flank of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Black Counters\u003c\/strong\u003e — recessed at 3, 6 and 9, ringed in white, reading straight off the blue with nothing else in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngraved Tachymeter Bezel\u003c\/strong\u003e — UNITS PER HOUR cut into black and filled with gold, the racing scale this case shape was built around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRacing Chronograph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e40mm Steel, Black DLC Finish, Gold Crown and Pushers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale Ice Blue, Three Black Counters, No Date\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAutomatic Self-Winding — no battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Rubber, Matte Black Folding Clasp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSapphire-Coated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e30m — splash and rain, not for swimming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Years Prestige Guarantee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Prestige Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is hand-inspected before it leaves us, shipped in a premium presentation box, and backed by a 2-year Prestige guarantee and a 30-day money-back promise.
