Calatrava 6196 Platinum / Rose

In Context

At 38 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. At 9.33 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 65 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 25,200 vph the seconds hand advances 7 times a second.

6196P-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a rose matte dial with a platinum case.

Hand-woud movement with a power reserve of 65 hours, thanks to the two mainspring barrels in a parallel arrangement. Total of 164 parts.
