Old Radium Polar Enamel
The Old Radium Polar Enamel explores the collection through contrast and clarity. Inspired by early pilot and field watches, as well as the instruments used for navigation in extreme environments, this edition focuses on legibility, balance, and permanence.
The dial is crafted in white enamel, chosen for its depth, stability, and long-term durability. Unlike painted surfaces, enamel does not fade with time and offers a subtle, mineral-like finish that interacts naturally with light. Against this bright base, the Old Radium numerals and markings stand out with exceptional clarity, reinforcing the functional character of the design.
The warm tone of the Super-LumiNova recalls the appearance of vintage radium dials while remaining entirely safe. Sword hands and Arabic numerals follow traditional pilot-watch proportions, ensuring instant readability in all conditions. A discreet date window provides everyday practicality without disturbing the overall balance of the dial.
The 40mm case measures just 10.1mm in thickness, giving the watch a notably slim profile for an automatic model. This restrained proportion enhances comfort and wearability while preserving the solid presence expected of a classic tool watch. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the open titanium case back reveals the Swiss automatic movement inside.
Each watch is individually numbered and produced as a limited edition of 300 pieces.

Isotope Bronze CuSn8 Care: Bronze, a copper alloy, naturally oxidizes upon contact with oxygen, developing a unique patina over time, enhancing your watch's character. This darkening, known as patina, is a natural process, not a quality concern. However, as bronze is not hypoallergenic, it may cause skin irritation, especially for those allergic to nickel, affecting over 10% of the global population.
