Design & Wearability
The Instrumentum wears extremely light on the wrist thanks to its all-titanium construction. The 40mm case features a matching integrated titanium bracelet that tapers down to the clasp. The dial relies on heavy applications of C3 and BGW9 Super-LumiNova for intense low-light visibility.
Movement & Performance
Under the dial is the Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic caliber. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), it provides a smooth sweep and 42 hours of power reserve. The case features a screw-down crown and solid caseback to secure its 300m water resistance.
