Continuous seconds are at the 9 O’clock position. The date is kept by hand at 3 O’clock.
Limited to only 90 pieces.
Details
Movement:High grade 25 jewel automatic wind, fully skeletonized chronograph movement. Our movement partner in Switzerland starts with a base 7750 movement before full skeleton machining is performed on virtually every component. The modification which adds a “date by hand” function is also incorporated before being highly decorated with perlée pattern, côtes de Genève, and blued screws. Gold plating to the movement adds the finishing touch. 48 hour power reserve. Adjusted to 5 positions.
Case: High strength 316 stainless steel. 44mm diameter at the bezel, 42mm at the case center. 15.1mm height. Highly polished to a mirror finish.
Dial: Minimal area, skeletonized white with black markings.
Glass: Sapphire glass on the front and on the case back.
Functions:Hours, minutes, at center. Constant seconds at 9 O’clock. Chronograph stop seconds at center. Minute counter at 12 O’clock, with hour counter at 6 O’clock. Date keeping by hand at 3 O’clock.
Water resistance:Tested to 5 ATM.
Strap: The strap is constructed, starting with a Zermatt calfskin liner. This top quality leather is non-reactive to the skin, and anti-microbial. Our black strap uses naturally grained, buttery soft French Chèvre goat skin. This top quality, leather has the ideal flexibility and slight sheen ideally suited for fine watch straps.
For the rich brown strap, a Buttero smooth full grain deep brown calf skin from Italy is used. This rich brown leather will soften with time. The Buttero hides are vegetable tanned, and will develop a rich luster on the surface, and patina wonderfully. These type of skins are known world-wide for their beautiful grain and rich aroma. Each strap is hand cut and stitched to perfection, with either white, or dial accent color stitching. Strap lug width is 22mm. Straps made to perfection by David Lane Design.
