OCTO TOURBILLON
SAPPHIRE
WITH ITS TRANSPARENT CASE-BACK and dial, this spectacular 44mm-diameter
timepiece made of titanium with a black Diamond Like Carbon (D.L.C.) treatment,
offers a full visual immersion into its movement. The mechanical manual-winding
flying tourbillon movement, Caliber BVL 206, features 11 black DLC-coated bridges
adorned with green bars of ITR2 – a single composite material laden with carbon
nanotube particles and a hardness comparable to a metal - and SLN, a high-tech
luminescent material enabling the watch to give off at night all the light it has
received during the daytime. The bridges forming the hour-markers are an entirely
original feature. They therefore serve to bear and hold the movement in place,
while also acting as functional elements for reading off the hours and minutes.
