CVSTOS – CHALLENGE Chrono II Chronograph Power Reserve

CVSTOS – CHALLENGE Chrono II CHRONOGRAPH Power Reserve NEW

Preciousness and performance, efficiency and elegance. The four tenets of the Cvstos manufacture provide a rigorous set of ethics that inform the brand’s bold signature aesthetic. Each timepiece is crafted in accordance with these principles, in a continual quest for the purest expression of contemporary watchmaking design. With its boutique size, Cvstos can remain ahead of trends, endowed with an agility that allows for a swift response to customer demands. As the tide now turns towards a more discreet aesthetic, Cvstos is delighted to present a new, more streamlined addition to its flagship Chronograph Challenge range: the Challenge Chrono II.

Many of the brand’s customers are active in the realm of high-performance sports, and a demand for immediate legibility of the dial, together with designer Antonio Terranova’s quest for the ultimate contemporary classical style, has fuelled the new-look flagship timepiece.
Retaining the same functionalities as Cvstos’ Challenger Chronograph models, the Challenge Chrono II comprises a Cvstos 577 automatic chronograph movement and Cvstos Technology tungsten 88 rotor. Key design differences include a more rationalized dial and lighter construction, aided by a choice of tungsten and titanium materials.

The Challenge Chrono II offers optimal readability, thanks to new positioning of the chronograph counter subdials, yet which still provides visibility onto the elegant inner mechanics below. Thicker baton indexes and bolder counters in broad strokes of white SuperLuminova, bring extra clarity to the dial. Previous Arabic numerals have been removed to better accentuate the tachymeter reading, and ensure the hour display takes centre stage.

The date counter remains at 3 o’clock, whilst the neighboring 42-hour power reserve indicator is now emphasized in an accent color, for exquisitely precise reading.

For comfort and practicality, weight is effortlessly lifted from the timepiece through a bezel redesign, now featuring structured inserts, which lend dynamism and shear essential milligrams from the case structure. Similarly, the strap, in grooved rubber, enhances the timepiece’s sporting allure whilst offering a more lightweight interpretation of a full rubber strap. This rugged motif is echoed in the ridged, gripper push buttons – a new feature on the Challenge Chrono II.

Still with a barrel-shaped case and water resistance to 100 meters, the Challenge Chrono II is currently available in three variants: steel, titanium with pink 5N gold lateral elements, and a titanium all-black variant, with sporty red accents. Once again, Cvstos’ founders, Antonio Terranova and Sassoun Sirmakes are upholding their avant-garde status; by further refining their vision of the craft and distilling their particular brand of haute horology into the quintessential expression of technical elegance, Cvstos ushers in a new chapter of timekeeping design and excellence.

MIDO – MULTIFORT Chronograph Caliber 60

MIDO – MULTIFORT Chronograph Caliber 60 NEW

Up to 60 hours power reserve for a timepiece equipped for every challenge

Innovation, accuracy and robustness are the hallmarks of the new Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 all-steel automatic timepiece, which is designed for the toughest sportsmen. Water-resistant up to a pressure of 20 bars (200 m / 660 ft), this reliable and ultra-resistant watch ensures perfect readability, underwater and at night, thanks to the generous use of Super LumiNova® on the dial and the rotating flange. The Caliber 60, exclusive to the Swatch Group, boasts up to 60 hours of power reserve. Its anthracite dial, decorated with vertical Geneva stripes, recalls the suspension of Sydney Harbour Bridge, a construction that symbolises architectural modernity at the beginning of the 20th century.

Launched in 1934, two years after the Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed, the Multifort collection shares the structure’s remarkable qualities – a perfect blend of functionality and beauty. A truth that has stood the test of time, as this year Mido celebrates the 80th anniversary of Multifort production, making this one of the longest-produced series in the history of Swiss watchmaking.

The Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 marshals plenty of arguments to win over not only the toughest sportsmen but the most hardened divers. Built to rise to every challenge, its robust satinated, polished steel case houses a state-of-the-art chronograph movement, the Caliber 60, exclusive to the Swatch Group, boasting up to 60 hours of autonomy. This automatic movement was designed according to the exacting standards of Mido, who have developed a high-precision tool of proven reliability in the Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60. Equipped with a rotating flange whose top right quarter is treated with orange Super LumiNova®, the Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 is water-resistant up to a pressure of 20 bars (200 m / 660 ft). Its broad 44 mm diameter and its indexes treated in Super LumiNova® ensure perfect readability of the time and diving time, whatever the conditions.

The five crowns and pushpieces on the case testify to the unique design and resolutely masculine character of the Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60. The crown located at 3 o’clock is for setting the time and winding, while its counterpart at 8 o’clock facilitates the adjustment of the rotating flange. Two pushpieces at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock activate the chronograph functions, while the pushpiece at 10 o’clock enables the date to be rapidly corrected. These five pushpieces and crowns are screwed down in order to guarantee maximum security. The two counters are positioned at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock. The window at 6 o’clock indicates the date.

The sleek elegance of the Multifort Chronograph Caliber 60 draws its inspiration from the powerful contours of the Sydney Harbour Bridge: the vertical Geneva stripes and dots that adorn the anthracite dial are a nod to the suspension and rivets of the famous structure. Several touches of orange recall Mido’s visual identity: on the two chronograph pushpieces, the rotating flange, the counter hand at 3 o’clock and finally the tip of the 60-second counter at the centre. The vertical satinated and nickel-plated hands are treated in white and orange Super LumiNova®, as are the indexes, ensuring maximum readability underwater and at night. In order to improve the readability still further, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, treated on both sides, protects the dial. Thanks to the transparent case back, enthusiasts of fine watchmaking can admire the elaborate automatic movement, decorated with blued screws, as well as the oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the engraved Mido logo. This model is equipped with a bracelet with folding clasp and a diving extension, in stainless steel.

Two versions of this model are available, each with a black rubber strap. The first boasts a steel case and a silver-toned dial. The second has a black PVD-treated steel case, with a black dial and touches of blue on the rotating flange and hands.
