1972 Skysand Chronograph Watch Kelton x Chapal 9124512

The Watch

The first Kelton watch was born in the 1950s from a meeting between a Frenchman and the leadership of American watchmaker Timex. Its watches are crafted in the brand's workshops in Besançon, and every piece carries the 'Montre Française' label. For years, Kelton has offered collections of chic, elegant timepieces that have won over fans of clean, refined design. Today, the brand is proud to present this outstanding Skysand timepiece, remarkable for its unique finishing. Refined yet sporty, it hails from the Kelton x Chapal collection and features a sandblasted stainless steel case in gray. With a 40 mm diameter, it sits comfortably on the wrist for everyday wear. The square case is protected by a highly scratch- and shock-resistant flat sapphire crystal. On the right side of the case, a crown handles hand-setting, flanked by two pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock for chronograph control. The screw-down caseback with engraving ensures water resistance of 10 ATM on this limited-edition timepiece.

The Dial

Clean and minimalist, the dial on this watch delivers a clear, fluid reading of the time. Finished in a warm beige tone, it adds a touch of brilliance to your wrist every day. Markers in varying shades make them easy to distinguish at a glance, and Superluminova treatment on the indicators ensures excellent legibility even in low-light conditions. A blue minute track runs along the dial's rehaut, pointed to by two large black hands and a slender blue seconds hand displaying hours, minutes, and seconds. The chronograph function is handled by two counters at 3 and 9 o'clock, tracking 30 minutes and 60 seconds. The model's specific details are noted above 6 o'clock, with the brand signature positioned opposite.

The Movement

The watch is powered by a St 1901 manual-wind mechanical movement. This caliber, manufactured by Seagull, features 23 jewels and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. It drives the dial hands to display hours, minutes, and seconds while actuating the chronograph counters with precision and efficiency. Power reserve: 42 hours.

The Strap

A full-grain calfskin leather strap fits both ends of the case. It features a vegetable-tanned finish that gives it a remarkable look. Soft and comfortable, it wraps beautifully around your wrist thanks to its premium material. Choose from 4 strap colors in the dropdown menu.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - a truly water-resistant timepiece. Its easygoing style is ready to dive right into aquatic adventures with you. From puddles to the pool, this watch handles water without breaking a sweat. Showers, baths, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suitable for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers clear of water during immersion.
