The dial features central hours, minutes, and chronograph 60-second counter, tourbillon and day of the week roller, retrograde GMT, 60-minute chronograph counter and precision moon phase roller, and a retrograde date. The two rollers work simultaneously with the time, date, GMT, and chronograph and are large enough to be easily read, housed in the ultra-light and homogeneous case.. A small window between day roller and tourbillon allows a unique view of the superbly finished gyrating tourbillon cage. Mirror-polished angled surfaces brings the dial to life, and the locking corrector pushers form curves meeting the graceful flow of the case ...
