And while the sapphire case allows a clear view of the movement from the back , it ’ s the teak dial that really sets the watch apart from other nautically themed models . Just below the stylized luminous hands ( including a very cool propeller-shaped small-seconds hand ) lies a teak-wood plate , echoing the woodwork found on many an ocean-cruising yacht . Additional Challenge models include examples with colorful sapphires set in titanium framing the teak plate .
