Design Spirit

The Vanguard Yachting is essentially a tribute to the sailing universe. Every detail—from the nautical blue color palette to the compass markings on the inner bezel—is intended to evoke the bridge of a luxury yacht. It balances a sporty, aggressive silhouette with the high-end finishing expected from a “Master of Complications.”
