Catalogues consistently give a 35 mm diameter. The documented case is steel, with a reeded or engine-turned bezel and crown in pink or yellow gold. Antiquorum describes case 45,343 as two-body, with concave lugs, a screwed-down back and crown, and a gold bezel joined to the steel case. Phillips catalogued case 47'948 as “Monoblocco”; the surviving descriptions do not settle whether that term refers to construction or model name. The case has two chronograph pushers in the band. A 2019 catalogue lists Plexiglas for case 45,344; the available records do not establish a reference-wide crystal specification. | Catalogues consistently give a 35 mm diameter.
