Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch features a 41-millimeter stainless steel case, noted as a rare material choice for the manufacturer's complicated timepieces. The design includes distinct lugs and paddle-style pushers positioned on the case flank for chronograph operations. A dedicated pusher is located on the opposite side to facilitate rapid adjustment of the local time zone.

The dial is finished in a rose-gilded opaline tone and incorporates several tracks, including a city ring for time zone reference and a 24-hour rotating disk for day/night indication. A sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position tracks 30 minutes for the chronograph function. Applied indices and dauphine-style hands are constructed from white gold and feature luminous material.

Movement and Functionality

The timekeeping and chronograph functions are driven by the automatic caliber CH 28-520 HU movement. This caliber is engineered to support the world time complication alongside a flyback chronograph, allowing for immediate resetting and restarting of the stopwatch function.

The layout provides a multi-zone reference system designed for travel. The interaction between the external city ring and the internal 24-hour disk enables tracking of different time zones, while the pushers provide ergonomic control over the chronograph and local time settings.
