Design and Exclusive Details

The silver metallic dial with the distinctive blue ‘Maltese cross’ offers timeless elegance. Dark Amphibia arrow-style hands and a red second hand add a touch of originality. It’s worth noting that a modern copy of this dial does not feature the ‘antimagnetic’ inscription.

Historical Trivia: Antimagnetism in Watchmaking

The history of antimagnetism in watches is fascinating. Although it’s not clear who invented the first antimagnetic wristwatch, models like the 1940s IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XI and later iterations by Omega, Rolex, and Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced robust and functional antimagnetic versions.
