In a first for the steel version of the Chronomaster Sport, the engraved 1/10th of a second bezel is crafted in steel instead of ceramic. With its polished surface and black filled engraved markers, it takes on a slightly retro vibe, recalling the El Primero “Rainbow” models of the 1990s. Paired with the three-link steel bracelet, the pink dial truly stands out.

The moon phase is Felipes first watch with a handmade complication and the first step towards a completely self-developed and handmade movement.

Due to Felipes origin from brazil he chose to show the moon from the perspective of the southern hemisphere.

Aside of the technical development the biggest challenge was to fit the large moon into the case without having to increase the tickness. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

For this reason, Felipe placed the moon in the middle of the mechanism. The moon is 0.4mm thicker than the movement and closes perfectly with the dial.

The movement is hand-scored and then sawn, filed and finished watch the bridges will be frosted.
