Transplanting a tachometer face onto a watch dial was an obvious decision: Both are meant to convey important information quickly to the user. It was important to find a balance where usability was not compromised over aesthetics: the traditional clock layout is still maintained. Very few other automotive watches implement this idea well.

Like the push button start ignition of a car, the crown is the critical link connecting the user to the movement—the "engine" of every watch.

The spiral knurling is an intersection between functional design and cohesive aesthetics. Emulating helical cut drivetrain gears, the aggressive knurling also provides a positive grip.
