Overseas Chronograph

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 12.45 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 150 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

49150/000R-9454 is one of 2 executions of the 49150/000R base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a silver dial and a pink gold case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Selfwinding chronograph movement with minutes, large date, column-wheel chronograph with 12-hour and 30-minute counters, small seconds at 6 o'clock, hours
