The case of the CLASSIC DATE is made of noble metal and is built from nearly 30 parts of 10 different types. The 46 rivets, all machined from solid gold, are ubiquitous throughout the watch. The dial is composed of five different elements and is hand-engraved. The two sapphire crystals are coated on both faces with an anti-reflective treatment.

The date is displayed in a window located at 6h. The 31 numbers are hand engraved on a specifically designed disc and filled with two colored resins. The window is bevelled and mirror polished by hand.

The Classic date is fitted with VH118 caliber: an automatic self-winding movement with 27 jewels and a power reserve of 40 hours. The balance wheel frequency is 28’800 oscillations per hour.

To ensure an interrupted view of the VH118 through the sapphire display back, The Classic date is fitted with Vianney Halter’s signature “mysterious mass” winding rotor.
