Notes

This elegant watch uses a movement that was made between 1933 and 1963. The original unadorned movements were of high quality but the original caliber has been modified and reworked. This is a 15-jewel movement, with a 40-hour power reserve, beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. Chronoswiss has added polished pallets, pallet-wheel (internal parts involved with wheel rotation) and screws. The bridges are finished with fausses cotes decoration. This watch was available in limited editions as follows: yellow, pink and white gold: 99 pieces each, platinum: 33 pieces, bicolor red and white gold: 99 pieces.
