Design and Materials
The SEVENFRIDAY M3/01 introduces a fusion of futuristic design and Italian elegance, blending industrial aesthetics with retro-futuristic elements. The 44.5 x 44 x 14.5mm case size features a stainless steel case with a Stone Blue PVD coating, offering a sleek and modern appearance. The top section of the bezel is horizontally satined, while the bezel groove is filled with Blue Berlac lacquer, adding a subtle pop of color. Engraved with the SEVENFRIDAY logo at the center, the case presents a high-tech, industrial feel. The unique organic and aerodynamic shape of the case is particularly noticeable from the side, showcasing a streamlined design that evokes the sensation of high-speed travel or fluid movement. The caseback is polished stainless steel with a Stone Blue PVD coating and features a single screw for easy access to the stem and movement removal.
Dial and Glass
The dial of the M3/01 features a 5-layer construction that creates depth and texture. The middle layer is made of polished rhodium, with triangular cutouts at the 12 and 9 o’clock positions, filled with matt white paint. The baseplate is finished with a grainy matt blue texture, while polished rhodium stickers add contrast around the inner cutout. The top layer is horizontally brushed rhodium with lacquered blue areas, creating a sophisticated and dynamic look. To protect the intricate dial, the M3/01 is equipped with three individual sapphire crystal pieces, each featuring an anti-reflective coating for enhanced clarity.
Movement and Engine
The M3/01 is powered by the TMI NH70 automatic skeleton movement (M), which offers a 41-hour power reserve, ensuring long-lasting functionality. The movement is visible through the open caseback, providing an added touch of mechanical allure. The sandblasted silver rhodium hour disc displays glossy blue printed numbers and tracks, offering clear and easy-to-read time indication.

The blue suede genuine calf leather strap with blue stitching enhances the overall aesthetic and complements the futuristic design of the watch. The strap tapers from 26mm to 22mm, creating a sleek, ergonomic fit. The stainless steel butterfly clasp is engraved with the SEVENFRIDAY logo, ensuring a secure and stylish closure. The butterfly clasp adds an elegant touch to the watch’s design, completing its refined look.
