The ceramic dial is heavily imprinted with Super-LumiNova pigments that can only be seen in the dark – including the hour circles on the main dial at 12 o’clock. It is inspired by Nicolas Rieussec’s first patented chronograph from 1821, originally invented to time horse races. Functions also include a date window, second time zone (via a skeletonized hour hand) and a day/night indicator. It contains Caliber MB R200, with a 72-hour power reserve. IMG_1421IMG_1418MB_Homage to Nicolas Rieussec_111592_mood_nightMB_Homage to Nicolas Rieussec_111592_mood_white
