After 7 years, Mephisto is back
One of the things that gives Mephisto_III a more sculpted aesthetic is that its case is embellished with curvaceous and highly polished concave edges everywhere from bezel, case, crown, case back to the integrated bracelet that give its silhouette multiple levels and finishes making this Makina’s most detailed case design yet. Its sharp edges are crisp with clear cut, alternating brushed and polished finishing.
This is the first time Makina releases a timepiece with an integrated bracelet. Meticulous effort in craftsmanship is highly involved in producing the concave edges found on its integrated bracelet which connect seamlessly to the watch case.
The 38mm case is made of surgical grade, 316L stainless steel and measures at only 45mm lug to lug with a case thickness of 11.15 mm. The crown is a screw down type with a 100m water resistance rating.
Under the highly scratch resistant flat sapphire crystal glass with 3x AR coating is a dial design inspired by the very first Mephisto, the very first model to come out of Makina, but has grown to become even more multifaceted allowing for more light play at every wrist roll.
The dial’s multi-layered design, its tall metallic indexes and faceted alpha hands give it lots of depth and 3-dimensional visual interest.
The exhibition style case back displays the highly renowned, Swiss-made, Sellita SW200 movement modified with Makina's new rotor electroplated in gold. The movement has a power reserve of 38 hours with a beat rate of 28,800 bph with hacking seconds.
