Two years later, the manufacture proposes this association for its new 150-piece limited series, Overseas Dual Time Everest. On a grained-finished gray-blue dial, a third orange-hued tapered hand completes the traditional pair of hands dedicated to the hours and minutes. A day/night indicator, “AM/PM”, at 9 o’clock synchronizes with the reference time. A date in a disc features at 6 o’clock. A screwed pusher nestling at 4 o’clock offers fast, easy adjustment. This scenescape is protected by a 41 mm-diameter steel case, waterproof to a depth of 150 meters, and topped with a titanium bezel.
