AMVOX2 Chronograph

In Context

At 44 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 16.1 mm it is very tall, and sits high off the wrist. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 65 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

1972472 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a pink gold, titanium case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Caliber 751E has an unusual vertical-trigger chronograph which is engaged by pressing the case. It is made up out of 280 parts, including 41 jewels. Its twin barrels provide for a 65 hour power reserve.
