What to know

Reference T152.223.11.493.00 is the understated blue member of the Désir Moonphase launch. Instead of diamond indexes, its midnight-blue dial uses Roman numerals at the cardinal positions around a moonphase display at six o’clock. The smooth 29.6mm stainless-steel case and jewellery-like bracelet keep the same sculptural silhouette as the gem-set versions.

A Swiss quartz movement powers the three-hand display and lunar indication, with an end-of-life signal for the battery. The 9.52mm-thick case carries sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating on the underside and offers 50 metres of water resistance. The integrated-looking steel bracelet closes with a push-button butterfly clasp.
