This update to a 2014 original, this 2016 update to the Tri-Axial Tourbillon creates a darker design and a new edge to the model. The purpose of the multi-axial tourbillon is to reduce errors of rate by addressing the changes in the vertical and horizontal positions.
Looking at the watch, the side of the case at 9 o’clock contains a sapphire crystal window that gives the opportunity to admire the mechanism and bring light inside the movement. The sapphire crystal is made of two pieces in order to form a dome at 9 o’clock that highlights and protects the triple-axis tourbillon cage. The case is made out of titanium, which is a welcome change to the rose gold of the previous model. The metal is long-lasting and comfortable on the wrist, since it is fairly lightweight.
The watch is powered by the Girard-Perreagaux Caliber GP09300-0002 and features a power reserve of 60 hours.
