Color Palette | Black & Gold: The Glorious History of the Empire
The timepiece is defined by a commanding black and gold color scheme that embodies the glorious history of the Roman Empire. Black reflects the iron discipline of the Roman legions and the depth of antiquity, while gold represents imperial majesty, prosperity, and the golden age of Pax Romana. Paired with a 45mm ultra-lightweight CARBONOX™ case, centuries of history are transformed into a tough, modern instrument.
The Colosseum: Symbol of Ancient Roman Power
Resting on the right side of the dial is the unmistakable silhouette of the Colosseum. More than an architectural marvel, the Colosseum stands as the ultimate symbol of Ancient Roman power, order, and imperial authority, bringing structural depth and historical presence to the dial.
Roman Warrior Helmet: The Pinnacle of the Empire
Positioned at 9 o'clock, a Roman warrior's helmet faces the Colosseum across the dial. The legions were the driving force that expanded Rome across three continents, making the warrior's helmet a representation of the pinnacle of the Roman Empire's strength and civilization. Coated in grey Swiss Super-LumiNova®, the helmet glows bright green in the dark—awakening the fearless spirit of the Roman warrior at night.
Tritium Gas Tubes: Tribute to the Eternal City
Alongside the Super-LumiNova® helmet, 16 Swiss Luminox self-powered micro tritium gas tubes are set across the hands, indexes, and unidirectional bezel. Delivering continuous illumination for up to 25 years without needing an external light source, it pays tribute to Rome's legacy as "The Eternal City."
The Eagle Standard & "SPQR": Supreme Sovereignty
The Meaning of SPQR: Standing for the Latin phrase Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and People of Rome"), SPQR was the official emblem of the Roman Republic and Empire. Engraved on ancient coins, monuments, and legion standards, it signifies that supreme sovereignty and glory belonged to both the Senate and the citizens of Rome.
Meander Border & Limited Numbering: Framed by a classic geometric meander pattern symbolizing infinity, each caseback is engraved with a unique 1-of-100 serial number.
Commemorative Eagle Metal Badge
Each watch comes with an exclusive Roman Legion Eagle metal badge, extending the historical narrative beyond the wrist. Powered by a Swiss Ronda 515 quartz movement with 200M (20 ATM) water resistance and a hardened mineral crystal, it blends historical storytelling with everyday durability.
