Gaps
- Singapore stock. Direnzo sells from its own site. No Singapore shop is listed.
- Power reserve. Direnzo’s page says 54 h. Luxe Digital and Fratello (third-party) say 56 h.
- Thickness. Direnzo says 10 mm. Isotope (collaboration partner) says 10.5 mm including the crystal.
- How the GMT is set. Direnzo does not say. Luxe Digital (third-party) calls it a “caller” GMT: the 24-hour hand is set on its own, not the local hour hand. Luxe Digital also lists the same CHF prices as Direnzo.
- Movement grade. Luxe Digital and Fratello (third-party) call it “Elaboré-grade”.
- Crystal. Direnzo’s spec list says domed sapphire. The same page’s dial text says “a flat sapphire crystal”.
- Isotope (collaboration partner) says a handful of the 40 Isotope × Direnzo pieces will be sold in the UK through Isotope. The rest go through Direnzo.
