The mechanical manual-winding flying tourbillon movement, Caliber BVL 206, appears at the heart in the watch with 11 black DLC-coated bridges adorned with green bars of ITR2 - a single composite material laden with carbon nanotube particles along with a hardness much like a metallic - and SLN, a high-tech luminescent material enabling the watch to present off through the night each of the light it's received through the daytime.

As soon as the operation is completed, another press causes the dot to fade and locks the time-setting mechanism.
