Both sides of the movement have been skeletonized using an original dazzle-camouflage pattern with geometric shapes of contrasting colours that intersect each other creating a three-dimensional effect.
Exploring the automatic MB 29.24 movement, it is possible to observe rhodium coated and satinated wheels, a skeletonized barrel revealing the spring, a rhodium-coated micro-rotor with a new finishing and a main plate featuring a black rhodium coating with micro-blasted and sandblasted finishings adorned with blued screws.
The ExoTourbillon bridge with its semi-hexagonal shape and balance wheel has been coated with rhodium. To enhance the look, the bridge has been both polished and mirror polished.
The ExoTourbillon name explains one of the peculiarities of this timepiece. "Exo" means "outside" in the ancient Greek and, in fact, the large balance is installed outside the rotating cage and oscillates on a different plane.
The dial is completed by blued sword-shaped hands and two dark blue rings, one surrounding the ExoTourbillon to indicate the seconds, and the outer one to indicate the minutes. The alligator strap comes in matching blue.

The closed dial version gives more evidence to the tourbillon. I think that openworked design diminishes the preciousness of the watch.
