This is rubber with injected white gold.
The case, which measures 44 millimeters in diameter, receives crystal glass backs on the top and bottom.

The actual hour and minute hands are traditionally suspended in the center. In the upper area towards 12 o’clock, you can take a look at the mainspring movement.
