Franc Vila watches are truly distinctive, without question. The characteristic asymmetrical dial and bezel are in brushed and polished stainless steel with a ribbed rubber strap that adds to the edgy aesthetic of this fantastic timepiece. The silver-toned dial encircles a guillioche golden toned center with apertures presenting day and month. The skeletonized silver tone hands count down hours and minutes against pointed hour markers as well as even Arabic numerals, with the Franc Vila logo as the 12th hour marker. At the 6 o'clock mark there is the moon phase dial with the date indicated on the outer edge with a blued steel hand. The transparent sapphire case-back provides an exhibition of the inner workings. This fascinating timepiece is fastened with a deployment clasp.
