Olympic Pocket Watch 1932 Red Gold

In Context

The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. Its 32-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 18,000 vph the seconds hand advances 5 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

5108.20.00 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a white dial with a red gold case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2007.

Caliber 3889 is a hand-wound movement with rattrapante chronograph controlled by a double column wheel.
