Tangente 38 Date Haifischgrau 179.S20

Straightforward and almost architectural: Gray defines this watch design, with contrasting elements visibly structuring the dial. Sharks, lead, and graphite come to mind when describing the color of this Tangente Datum. However, sharks came closest for us. The predator, which roams lagoons and other bodies of water in tropical regions, has an elegant gray upper side and a much lighter underside—just like this watch. Tangente Datum Haifischgrau is a good choice when practicality is desired and niceties are unnecessary.
