Classical sport watch design, superb quality & value, and shared friendship in the global watch collecting community are all tenets of this very special Halios Universa Topper Edition — our 12th limited edition produced in collaboration with our favorite names in watchmaking. Built around the sporty Halios Universa footprint but featuring an automatic movement and Seaforth dial elements, this special new hybrid reference uses its high-contrast dial and oversized applied markers to continue the sleek design language and capability established by Halios. But a closer look reveals a series of thoughtful tributes to various natural elements found around our Burlingame home: specifically the five-minute hash marks encircling the dial, which are dark blue, green and yellow, as a nod to the Pacific Ocean, the redwood trees, and the sunshine found in Northern California. Lastly, the minute and hour hands are PVD-treated in black to maximize contrast, while the seconds hand has been heat-blued, achieving a similar contrasting effect while continuing a longstanding signature of Topper editions which use bright white lacquer with subtly contrasting blue dial elements.
