Its 45mm titanium case changes colour when the watch is moved around and catches light from different angles.

DJ Snake’s influence is seen in the shifting colours. He also contributed to the design of the bezel, which has different notches to a regular Big Bang, and to the upper face of the sapphire dial, which has a map of the world in the same colours as the case; a signature of the musician.
