This unique timepiece combines aluminum, titanium and rubber. The elegant and refined special series showcases resolutely contemporary Italian design. Beating at the heart of the case measuring 40 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 100 meters is self-winding Caliber BVL192. Its GMT function drives a dual-time display shown by an arrow-shaped hand on the dial bearing Italian colors as well as the colors of the ship.

Each of the available 1,000 timepieces comes in a mahogany presentation box engraved with the ship’s motto: “Non chi comincia, ma quel Che persevere” (Not he who begins, but he who perseveres).
