Inside the 42 mm tonneau-shaped case, sits an openworked HUB1770 hand-wound skeleton movement, visible dial side through an enhanced quartz dial made from silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (AI2O3) melted at high temperature. The quartz is colored by the addition of a mixture of rare elements from the earth. The crystals have a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.
