The watch's solid case-back, also in King Gold, is engraved with a view of Miami Downtown and, of course, the number “305”. The blue Hornback alligator strap, stitched onto white rubber, completes the watch, which is water-resistant to 100 metres. A version set with 374 white diamonds, totalling approximately 3.34 carats, is also available in an extremely limited run of 10 pieces.
