The rest of the dial matches previous references, with rectangular applied indices fitted around the outside edge and the same angular, tiered hands. The hour hand, minute hand, and hour marks are fitted with lume inserts.

Maen doesn’t make a far more affordable alternative to the Patek Philippe Cubitus; it makes an original design that may or may not have inspired a luxury alternative.
Better still, the Manhattan 37mm Ultra Thin nails the current ideal sizing, dictated by the watch zeitgeist, better than any other affordable integrated steel sports watch.
