THE LATEST FREELANCER ADDITIONS 3/4
Endowed with a blue gradient dial, the freelancer diver Geneva Limited Edition pays tribute to Lac Léman.
Mid-blue tones populate the upper reaches of the dial. These transition to dark blue hues adjacent to 6 o’clock,
a visual metaphor for the deepest, darkest parts of the lake.
The barrel-shaped hour and minute hands converse with applied indexes, eloquently conveying meaning. Both the hands and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova®, aiding readability in dim light conditions. During the day this luminescent material appears light grey, inspired by the mountains that look down on the lake, however, as night falls, a bewitching blue emission comes out to play.
Another reference to water and the lake is the drop-shaped aperture, positioned at 6 o’clock, that reveals the date in lucid form. The design of each numeral on the date disc has been optimally shaped to improve legibility. This notion of legibility also extends to the central sweep seconds hand which features a ‘lollipop’, a useful feature when exploring the lake underwater.
The 42.5mm stainless steel case features a scratch-resistant, rotating black ceramic bezel. As diving convention dictates, the bezel is unidirectional and readability is assured courtesy of its light-grey count-up scale and the Super-LumiNova® marker at 12 o’clock.
