Design & Case
At the heart of this timepiece's appeal is its 42mm titanium case, expertly finished with alternating polished and satin surfaces. At 12.16mm thick, it maintains an elegant profile while housing its sophisticated movement. The case construction demonstrates exceptional attention to detail, with its integrated bracelet seamlessly continuing the titanium theme and finishing.
The Signature Dial
What truly sets this edition apart is its mesmerizing green dial. This isn't just any green – it's an iridescent masterpiece that transforms with every shift of light and angle of view. The dial's special treatment incorporates luminescent materials that create a dynamic play of various green hues, perfectly complementing Aston Martin's racing heritage. Skeletonized baton hands, also treated with luminescent material, emit a matching green glow in low-light conditions.
