Identical to its predecessor in case design, the automatic Cap Camarat Square distinguishes itself through its dial. Featuring a horizontal guilloché pattern, the black background provides perfect legibility of the information. With a distinctly 70s aesthetic inspired by the original model, the beveled hour markers and the faceted rectangular hour and minute hands are coated with luminescent material.
