Its defining feature is a fixed 24-hour bezel read against an orange 24-hour hand, allowing the wearer to tell morning from evening at a glance.

The crisp white \"Polar\" dial, named for the model's expedition heritage, carries bold black-outlined markers and hands for legible contrast, with a date beneath the Cyclops at three o'clock.
