All three watches feature a 41mm black PVD-covered titanium case, a rotating bezel in carbon and matt black PVD steel, and a black steel crown. The bezel has an interesting marbled effect which was created by injecting carbon fibers into a resin pressed at high temperatures. The dial also has a carbon effect, but this is a skillful recreation rather than the real thing. The three watches are distinguishable due to the uses of different colors to add details on the dials and strap. On the faceted indexes, the logo detail and the hands, the colors differ, with one model sporting rose gold details while the other two feature yellow lacquer and blue lacquer.
