Dynamic Dial & Chronograph Functionality

The matte black sandblasted dial features three recessed subdials: a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour chronograph and date display at 6 o’clock, and running seconds at 9 o’clock. Accented in light blue, the chronograph seconds hand, bezel markers, and push-button ring recall The Ocean Race colors and evoke nautical precision. All hands and indices are filled with blue-glowing Super-LumiNova® for clarity underwater.

Movement: UN‑150 In‑House Chronograph

At 1503-170LE-2A-TOR/3A core lies the COSC-certified UN‑150 automatic chronograph movement, featuring an integrated column-wheel architecture. Beating at 4 Hz with a 48-hour power reserve, the caliber includes a silicon escapement and DiamonSIL® components for excellence in precision, shock resistance, and magnetism immunity. The sapphire caseback is engraved with The Ocean Race 50-year anniversary logo, offering both mechanical insight and commemorative detail.

Sporty Rubber Strap with The Ocean Race Branding
