Quick TakeThis is a proper pilot's chronograph, built like a vintage aircraft but with a modern engine humming under the hood. Its hefty 42mm steel case, complete with a screw-in crown and 10 bar water resistance, laughs in the face of daily knocks or a sudden downpour. The matt black dial is pure legibility, day or night, thanks to that bright Super-LumiNova®. Inside, the automatic L688.4 column-wheel chronograph movement isn't just for show; it’s a precise timer for life’s co-pilot moments, all while boasting a robust 66-hour power reserve. It’s a solid, reliable companion that feels instantly familiar and ready for anything.

DescriptionThe timepiece presents a round case architecture, fabricated from stainless steel, with a measured diameter of Ø 42.00 mm. The inter-horn distance is specified at 22 mm, while the lug-to-lug dimension extends to 51.40 mm. The overall profile thickness registers at 16.50 mm. Protection for the dial is afforded by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which incorporates multiple layers of anti-reflective coating applied to both its upper and lower surfaces. Water resistance is rated to 10 bar, a capability supported by the inclusion of a screw-in crown. The total mass of the watch, inclusive of its bracelet, is 187.9 grams. The dial itself is finished in a black matt coloration, providing a contrasting background for the applied Arabic numerals serving as hour markers. Time indication is executed by silvered sandblasted hands, which, along with the hour markers, feature Swiss Super-LumiNova® for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions.

Powering this instrument is the Caliber L688.4, an automatic self-winding mechanical movement. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and incorporates a monocrystalline silicon balance-spring, contributing to a power reserve of up to 66 hours. The primary timekeeping functions include hours, minutes, and a small seconds display positioned at the 9 o'clock mark, supplemented by a date indication. The chronograph functionality is managed by a column wheel mechanism. This system actuates a central 60 seconds hand, a 30 minutes counter situated at the 3 o'clock position, and a 12 hours counter located at the 6 o'clock position. The bracelet is constructed from stainless steel and is secured with a triple safety folding clasp that integrates a push-piece opening mechanism.
