Tangente 38 Date Schneestrurm 179.S24

Schneesturm is free of color and associations. Well: almost. Because unlike other colors, such a pure white succeeds in unfolding a powerful effect all by itself. Nevertheless, we have added some cool gray blue to the sub-seconds dial on this Tangente Datum, and swirled some black around it—as black always accompanies white impressively. Bearing some similarities to Tangente Datum Super Sardine, the result is a watch with a vintage character that highlights and strengthens the layout of the classic watch design. Not that it needed enhancing, of course.
