For a sporty tailoring silhouette, pair the A05 with a white shirt and a technical jacket; the steel and rubber accentuate the line.

On weekends, the M05 is a must: raw denim, dark knit, minimalist sneakers, touches of red become your signature.
Maintain consistency in materials and colors, let the watch take center stage, and simply coordinate the belt and metal of your accessories. Less is more, especially when the object speaks volumes.
Red Number, the renewal according to Dior Horlogerie
By combining sporty, useful complications, and couture finishes, Chiffre Rouge affirms the vision of watchmaking renewal so dear to Dior Horlogerie. The A05 for energy, the C01 for sophistication, the M05 for technical intensity: three interpretations of the same spirit, that of a men's watch that embraces its personality. At the crossroads of style and precision, the collection speaks to urban aesthetes who desire an object of character, designed to last, conceived to stand out.
