Design Inspired by Texan Pride
The Spirit of Big Bang Texas is housed in a 42mm tonneau-shaped case, crafted from microblasted and polished black ceramic.

The 18K yellow gold bezel, which is satin-finished, microblasted, and polished, adds a bold touch to the design, capturing the balance between tradition and contemporary flair.
The dial features sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and scratch resistance. A prominent design element is the Lone Star symbol, representing Texas’s independent spirit and pride.

An additional black rubber strap provides versatility, making this timepiece suitable for both formal and casual settings.
