Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud - FB 2RE.2

The Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud FB 2RE.2 is a genuine chronograph with a hidden pusher in the crown. We love its compact 39mm diameter and slim 9.27mm height. The star of the watch is the calibre A5000 manually wound monopusher chronograph movement.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5961/1A-001 takes a classic design and turns it into a lightweight timing instrument. It features a grade 5 titanium case and a slate grey dial with a Clous de Paris decoration. Despite its hidden movement, the watch has a reasonable height of 12mm. This luxury sports chronograph comes on an integrated titanium bracelet and is part of the permanent collection.

There is also a red gold option available.

Omega - Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is an iconic timepiece that has been redesigned for 2024. The standout feature is its wonderful blue-grey dial. The watch retains its classic case and features a black aluminium bezel insert with a Base-500 tachymeter scale, metallic Alpha hands, and other subtle changes. It is powered by the reliable Omega Calibre 3861 movement.

Tissot - PR 516 Chronograph Mechanical

The Tissot PR 516 Chronograph Mechanical pays homage to the original PR 516 series from the 1960s. It has a vintage charm with its stainless steel case, black dial, and touches of orange and blue. The watch houses the manually wound Valjoux A05.291 chronograph movement and is part of the permanent collection at an affordable price.
