The orange gem engraved in the crown pays homage to the first photo taken of a black hole by the Event Horizon Telescope. The hands are arc-shaped hollow hands. The hour hand is in silver, white the minute and second hands are painted with luminous orange .
The watch comes in two different type of case, and backers could choose between a shiny stainless steel or lightweight titanium alloy case. The choices of straps that are available are black rubber, stainless steel, and titanium. Backers could choose the straps and case according to personal comfort level and style.
