1956 Black Chronograph Watch

The Watch

Echo/Neutra presents the new Chronograph Black watch from the 1956 collection. This timepiece is built around a clean, adventurous, and elegant design. It is powered by a Swiss mechanical Sellita SW510M movement. The watch displays hours, minutes, small seconds, and a chronograph with a sixty-minute counter and thirty-second counter - perfect for the gentleman who values every second. The round case, measuring 40 mm in diameter and 14.1 mm thick, is crafted in 316L stainless steel topped with a sapphire crystal for superior scratch resistance. The caseback is snap-fit.

The Dial

Round in shape, it is highly luminous thanks to its sunray-brushed finish. The dial is black and features a tachymeter bezel on the outer edge. It houses 3 black hands, including a dedicated chronograph seconds hand, with a touch of brown as well. It is also fitted with baton indexes to indicate the hours and minutes. The hour and minute hands, along with the "12" marker at twelve o'clock, are treated with SuperLuminova material - environmentally friendly and designed for maximum legibility in the dark. A black minute track is present. The sub-dial at three o'clock is dedicated to thirty seconds, while the one at nine o'clock handles the chronograph and measures elapsed time up to 60 minutes.

The Movement

This watch houses a Swiss mechanical Sellita SW510M movement. This caliber displays hours, minutes, and small seconds. It also features a chronograph with a 60-minute counter. The watch offers 58 hours of power reserve.

The Strap

"The watch comes with a black rubber Tropic strap and a vintage black leather strap with beige contrast stitching, a milanese mesh bracelet, or a buffalo leather strap. The buckle is a silver-tone pin buckle. The lug width is 20 mm. This elegant strap will beautifully dress your watch and your wrist."

Water Resistance

This model delivers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres - that's 100 meters. This timepiece means business! Its easygoing style is ready to dive into aquatic adventures alongside you. From puddles to the pool, this watch handles water without complaint. Showers, baths, and casual swimming? No problem. That said, our watchmaking experts at Ocarat want you to know that, while water-resistant, this model is not suited for scuba diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers dry during submersion.
