This magnificent Radiomir comes in a brown-black composite case, which is a special synthetic ceramic material created by an electrochemical process using aluminium. The result is harder and more resilient than other ceramic materials and lighter than titanium.
All hour markers and the inscription on the dial are beige-coloured, which gives the impression of a patinated dial; the effect is intensified by the hands in a warm golden hue that stands out against the black background. The black anodized case has a screwed-in crown and is waterproof to 10 atm or 100 metres.
