The plate of new models is decorated with Perlage, its rotor has classic pattern “Cote de Geneve”. The see-through crystal back of the case reveals the complexity of the movement and beveled and polished edges of its elements. Supernova and Saturn models have a see-through dial with open balance.

All new models have stainless steel cases (316L) with PVD-coating and sapphire crystals with antireflective coating. L’Duchen logo is embossed on the crown.
