Each limited-edition timepiece is hand engraved using the classic Japanese technique, "yasuri-me," an intricate process that entails each of the band's center links with a rasp finish similar to that done on the tang of a sword. The band is complemented by a deep violet color and recrystallized Arc Ion Plating (AIP) on the case, and the bezel boasts an upscale, mirror-like finish.
