To make the dial, triple-axis machining and electrical discharge is used to create a disc 33mm in diameter and 0.8mm thick; an anti-corrosion treatment is then applied to seal its appearance over time.

Driving the Prestige HMS Steel is the hand-finished, in-house Calibre 2206 HMS with 60 hours of power reserve, visible through the display caseback.

The movement itself is also not short on distinctive touches: S-slot screw heads that permit more torque to be applied during movement assembly, balance wheel with curved arms, gearwheels with circular spokes and black NAC-treated bridges against a hand-frosted mainplate.<\/p>\n
In 43mm steel case, the Prestige HMS Stainless Steel is available in a limited edition of 10 pieces.
