Calibre 24.99 is a highly accurate movement first produced in 1908, which took part in many chronometer tests and achieved excellent results. Originally designed for use in chronometers and deck watches, calibre 24.99 is not only of supreme quality but is by many also considered to be one of the most beautiful Swiss movement ever.
