FINALLY I.N.O.X. MECHANICAL HAS LANDED

Since the launch of the first I.N.O.X. in 2014, its mechanical version has been eagerly anticipated. This exceptional collection needed a robust calibre addition. Due to the delicate nature of automatic movements, several R&D were necessary to bring this model into life.

At first sight, nothing distinguishes the quartz model from its mechanical version, with identical style, proportions and features, three hands and date. However a transparent back case show the mechanism behind it.

The guilloche dial, in the style of the Swiss officer’s Knife is what makes the design stand out. I.N.O.X. signature bezel has been coated to make it even more resistant to wear and tear keeping the shine intact for longer.
