Vertical Power Bars: Inspired by the original 1995 design with its steel brackets, the bold vertical bars across the dial aren’t just a style statement, they symbolise strength and endurance.

Double Security (DS) System: Designed to take on extreme conditions, DS technology combines reinforced sapphire crystal and water-resistant seals. Think of it as your personal shield, built tough like the turtle shell it’s inspired by.

Anti-reflective sapphire crystal and SLN-coated hands and dial make this watch readable in any light.
