An attractive wrist chronograph of masculine case size, catching the eye right away with its charmingly aged dial. Due to environmental influences, it changed its colour from black to an elegant anthracite. The blue-black edged 30-minute counter and the baton indexes with darkened luminous material are particularly attractive and striking. Inside beats the legendary chronograph calibre Valjoux 72, which was used for many years in models such as the Rolex Daytona.
