The 45.50 mm multi-piece case is made of stainless-steel with an overall brushed finish, mostly seen on the wide casebands. On the flip-side is a solid steel caseback that assures its capability of reaching diver standard depths in real world scenarios. It's been engraved with the water-resistance capability in circular conversion scale that indicates feets and meters. Mounted to the case is a blue teal unidirectional rotating bezel with a scratch-proof ceramic insert. It has been engraved with a 60-minute scale to assist divers with immersion times, among other practical uses.It comes equipped with a stainless-steel screw-in crown that is protected by crown guards with exposed screws. Topped by a sapphire crystal domed on both sides with an anti-reflective coating. Water-resistance can reach up to 500 meters (1640 feet). Time is exhibited on a gradient blue dial with stainless-steel applied hour index markers, followed by smaller white printed minute index markers circling around its periphery. But despite the official site calling this blue, it is clearly more of a teal blue tone.This gradient effect begins with a vibrant teal blue center that expands in a sunburst effect that gradually shifts in color and tones of shadow. Then the large small seconds appears to the left, composed by a minute ring and a snailed interior, which darkens similarly to the main blue hues gradient. There is a date aperture located at the 3 o’clock position. The thick uneven central stainless-steel hands, the hour indices, the small-seconds hand, and a bezel dot, have all been fitted with a luminescent coating for an enhanced legibility.
