Cosmic Blue — a proprietary shade selected for its depth and intensity after a long creative process — amplifies titanium's distinctive silvery-grey character, creating the impression of infinite depth at the heart of the Révélation's open dial. The Antarctique case translates every established design code into titanium: the box-shaped sapphire crystal, the narrow rounded bezel, and the integrated bracelet with its signature C-shaped central links. Notoriously difficult to machine despite its light weight, titanium is also fully bio-compatible, paramagnetic, and corrosion-resistant — qualities that align naturally with the Antarctique's sporting spirit. The SXH7 caliber, was born as an evolution of the SXH5 movement. The decision of skeletonizing the main plate raised a number of significant challenges, the first one being to completely reverse the escapement. Then the oscillating mass had to be engraved on both sides, for example, and the crown mechanism, now visible to the naked eye, had to be reworked entirely. On a more technical note, the seconds hand could no longer be connected by a bridge to the center, so space was made at 4:30 for a small seconds dial. The solution was to use sapphire crystal ring for the seconds.
