You'll notice the watch has a monochromatic look throughout. The hands and markers here have had some blue and red color applied to them, but they are in fact made of the same titanium as the other parts. There is a brushed finish throughout, and it lends a really cool effect – as the central part of the dial rotates, you get different levels of reflection off the two sections, giving an almost two-tone look. You can really see it at certain angles, while at other angles the dial appears to be almost one solid piece. As a quick refresher, the outer ring of dots displays the date while the inner ring shows the months and the year in the leap year cycle (the diamond points to the corresponding hour marker 1-12 for the month and it is a leap year when the outermost dot is filled with color).
