These three colors are used throughout the watch. The transparent crystal case back allows you to see the movement's components and how they oscillate.

 The caseback has been redesigned as a tribute to the famous Porsche steering wheel, and is printed with "Porsche" and "TAG Heuer." The asphalt finish on the dial was specially developed for this watch and perfectly embodies the watch's passion for the road.
