The case,
bezel and back this timepiece are milled from a single block of sapphire. It
takes two months to machine the case and then two more to accomplish the
polishing. The
high-tech transparent tonneau watchcase is emphasized by the architectural
design of the white PVD skeleton dial, hand-chamfered to perfection.
The perfectly integrated transparent strap attached to the glass case is totally invisible so that the skin of the wrist can be seen through it. Taking a new direction with its minimalist style, the Vanguard skeleton sapphire offers a full visual access to its in-house manufactured movement.
