Illumination: The dials and numbers are coated with a fluorescent material for visibility in low-light conditions, making it ideal for the extremes of polar environments.
Strap: The strap is made of black leather, 20mm wide, and comes with a pin buckle made of stainless steel, also rose PVD plated, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
