All of the aluminium parts have been buffed ultrasonically cleaned, polished and anodized with a gold or silver finish. All of the parts have been machined from bars using CNC working processes and are subjected to rigorous dimensional and quality control checks.
Particular attention is paid to processing cycles and the careful selection of the highest quality of raw materials and components available. The results in a technically perfect product.

A special assembly technique permits all screws (made exclusively from stainless steel AISI 316) to be loosened even after long periods in harsh marine environments..Graphics are applied using computerised laser technology.
