The watch is presented in a compact 38mm stainless steel case, measuring 9.95mm thick (8.35mm excluding the crystal) with a 44.5mm lug-to-lug. The solid caseback features an original illustration by artist @onehourwatch, depicting Jackie Ho as a child sharing a Yum Cha meal with his grandparents. Collectors can personalise the watch by engraving a meaningful number of their choice on the illustrated restaurant table marker. A box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the display, and water resistance is rated at 50m.
