《Bvlgari @ Endurer Chronosprint Watch》

Bvlgari Endurer Chronosprint expresses a powerful personality, dominated by the contours of its generous case in Staybrite® steel, a treatment that strongly enhances corrosion resistance while also featuring exceptional polishing qualities. It asserts undeniable strength, gently nuanced by the subtlety of its polished chamfers and its slender curves. This sturdy exterior protects Calibre DR1306, a sophisticated Fine Watchmaking movement. In parallel with the special All Blacks series, the Endurer Chronosprint collection is now available in versions with a steel bracelet or rubber strap.

The robust-looking model houses an exclusive and unusual self-winding mechanism with a simplified (hours and minutes) chronograph movement that is useful for measuring long times, by contrast with traditional counters generally intended to measure very short times on two to three counters. The Chronosprintfunction indicates the hours and minutes via two hands mounted on a single axis. Pressing the ergonomically grooved PVD pushbutton at 07:30 positions the hand at 12 o’clock and activates the chronograph function which remains in perpetual motion according to the “flyback” principle.

Calibre DR 1306 beats at a rhythm of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and displays the hours and minutes along a slightly off-centred axis. The large date window appearing at 12 o’clock is based on a patented mechanism: its dedicated construction is due to the off-setting of the hours and minutes functions which enables optimal positioning of the Chronosprint function. The steel parts of this sophisticated self-winding movement endowed with a 45-hour power reserve are finished and adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif and circular-grained surfaces.The movement is protected by a 56 mm x 51 mm case in brushed steel with polished edges, featuring a steel back with a sapphire crystal. Its elegant black horizontally-grooved dial revealing a large date display at 12 o’clock is framed by a bezel secured by six screws. It is fitted with two new bracelets. The first, made from steel and complete with a triple-blade folding clasp, testifies to a sophisticated construction with its 104 parts featuring individually brushed and polished angles. The second is fashioned from a block of rubber reinforced by two steel inserts and fastened by a pin buckle. Endurer Chronosprintis water-resistant to 100 metres.
