Black and orange has been chosen for the watch – to reflect the race team’s official colours. The mounted figures 1 and 7, outlines of the two inner circular dials and both hands of the watch itself are all given a distinctive white finish that provide a bold contrast upon the black decorative facial engraving, on which the .2-carat diamond is set. A stylish orange trim is positioned around the outside of the watch face, and a small window to reveal the inner organs of the watch’s Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier Swiss movement can be seen above the center. The Sahara Force Indialogo is placed in white at the 3 o’clock position, as a stamp of authenticity. The black titanium case also features the Felio Siby signature crocodile imprint.
