The latest addition to this product range, the L4.826.4.92.2 series gives pride of place to the night sky on its lightly opalescent beige sandblasted dial. The shape of the moon and its bed of stars are displayed in a fan-shaped open window at 6 o’clock circled by a calendar. The date is indicated with a small silver hand. At the center of the ivory face of this new The Longines 1832, two dauphine hands highlighted with a Super-LumiNova® strip and a second hand display the hours, minutes and seconds following a series of faceted index markers decorated with luminescent cabochons and beaded minute markers.
The polished steel cases measure 39 (Sixties) and 42 mm in diameter (Sixties Date Panorama) and house the 39-52 and 39-47 calibers respectively, which both vibrate at a frequency of 4 Hz and offer a power reserve of 40 hours.
Last but not least, all El Primero A386 Revival chronographs have the benefit of an exceptional guarantee of 50 years!
The Big Bang Unico WBC comes with a green alligator strap which is a nod to the belt awarded to a champion at the end of a world title fight. Hublot has also released its chronograph in a precious version limited to only 50 pieces in 18K King Gold.
Two editions are available, each composed of 30 pieces. The first has a translucent dial in guilloched blue enamel. While the second has a silver grained finish.
The Chrono XL comes in a commemorative box accompanied by two leather straps. The first all-black strap contrasts with the second which is decorated with yellow jerseys. As for the T-Race, it comes with a two-tone silicon strap.
As with all Chopard watches, this very limited edition of just 10 pieces has the chronometer certification issued by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The L.U.C XPS Azur also bears the hallmark of the demanding Geneva Seal for its exemplary finishes.
For the modern version, the sandblasted dial is offered in three shades – silver, blue, or taupe – highlighted with blued or rhodium-treated hands.
Depending on your needs, each edition has a specific water resistance. The Superocean 36 can withstand depths of up to 200 m, the 48 can go to 300 m, and the 42 reaches as far as 500 m below sea level. While the Superocean 44 and 46 can accompany extreme explorers with a water resistance of up to 1,000 and 2,000 m respectively. A Diver Pro II strap makes the watches comfortable to wear over a diving suit. Which one will you choose?
