Constellation Quartz 39 Chronograph Stainless Steel / Grey

In Context

At 39 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. 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.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

1542.40.00 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a grey dial with a stainless steel case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Hybrid chronograph : Quartz movement with mechanical chronograph mechanism. Movement with rhodium-plated finish. It is based off the Piguet 1270.
