Driven by a movement modified by EPOS and crafted in the finest Swiss traditions, this timepiece reveals its jumping hour through a broad rectangular aperture off-centred at 3 o’clock – a world-first feature – while the date is displayed at the bottom of a dial in an unusual round and hollowed aperture.
This non-conformist and instantly identifiable creation features a dial adorned with Côtes de Genève that sets the finishing touch to this remarkable example of precision craftsmanship. The black dial with “Côtes de Genève” motif has luminescent applied hands and hour-markers.
EPOS Passion Ref. 3405 is available in rose gold PVD coated steel or stainless steel case versions. Fitted with glare-proofed and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and transparent case-back, this timepiece offers water-resistance up to 100 metres.
The 21 jewel automatic movement that beats inside this EPOS Jumping Hour watch is visible through the transparent case-back.
