The EOS was introduced in 2000. The watch would be custom-set according to the owner's geographical location to indicate both local sunrise and sunset times. The EOS was offered in stainless steel, pink, rose and white gold in addition to platinum.
The current example was sold in 2004 and associates the warm tone of pink gold to a black guilloché dial. The exposed mechanical parts for the sunrise and sunset indicators add an industrial touch to the traditionally finished dial.
