Traditionnelle Chronograph Perpetual Calendar

In Context

At 43 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 12.94 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, 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. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 18,000 vph the seconds hand advances 5 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

47292/000P-9510 is one of 2 executions of the 47292/000P base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a grey dial and a platinum case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph and a perpetual calendar.

Chronograph movement with perpetual calendar; ultimately based on the Lemania 2310.
