The descent, plate by plate

How META is built

Every component travels one line, from the caliber ring to the clasp. Follow it down.

Solid and compact

The Meta case is built from 316L steel components, joined by screws and rings that make the Meta extremely compact. The automatic caliber sits in a protective metal ring, fastened to the case with anti-rotation clamps and insulation gaskets. Not one plastic component in the whole watch. Each caliber is regulated to 0 / +10 seconds a day.

Water resistant to 30 ATM

A screw crown and tube with triple lock O-rings. A screwed caseback, engraved inside and out, numbered one by one. A unidirectional ceramic bezel that turns through 120 clicks on flat friction.

One line, case to clasp

The integrated multiface band continues the octagonal case line, every link held by screwed pins. Above the dial, a hard sapphire crystal with triple-layer anti-reflective coating. The Meta's design applies a single style to every component of the watch: the case is one body with the shaped bracelet, and all components are joined by 316L steel screw pins. This delivers lasting strength and interchangeable parts.

Meta born in the Lab

Every Meta is hand-assembled in the lab in Italy. The case is tested during production and again at the end of assembly: each watch, once its performance tests are done, is individually water-tested to guarantee pressure resistance. Every Meta is assembled individually to the client's request and progressively numbered. Every Meta is one of a kind: that is what makes it a personal timepiece.

The Dive Clasp AM01

One system, two clasps, both included in the retail price of the Meta 300 m. The bracelet closes with a deployante pressure butterfly; its links are removable, held by screw pins. The Dive Clasp AM01, in 316L steel and engraved Astrabyss, adds quick length adjustment. Thanks to the design of the connecting links, this technical clasp swaps with the supplied deployante using a single screwdriver.
