Seaforce Chrono 43 01.0643.126 Watch

The Watch

Wenger is a Swiss brand founded in 1893 in the heart of the Swiss Jura. Originally specializing in cutlery, it expanded its range in 1997 to include robust, elegant, and precise watches - quickly earning a distinguished place in the watchmaking market. Today, Wenger continues to impress men and women alike with exquisite timepieces suited to any occasion and built to perform under extreme conditions. Wenger presents this stunning 01.0643.126 watch - ready to be worn day or night through all your adventures. Part of the Seaforce Chrono collection, it's where maritime spirit meets watchmaking excellence. It pairs with any look and adapts to any occasion, from a deep-sea dive to a city night out. Its round case is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a PVD treatment giving it a bold black finish. The polished/brushed finish adds a premium touch to everyday wear, while the 43 mm diameter makes it a perfect fit for men's wrists. The case houses a screwed, knurled, and protected crown at 3 o'clock, flanked by two pushers - the one at 4 o'clock distinguished by its red top. These allow easy manipulation of the hands, counters, and date window. A mineral crystal with a sapphire coating covers the dial for optimal scratch and shock protection, surrounded by a unidirectional diving bezel featuring a minute scale with a luminescent marker at 12 o'clock. This dynamic feature lets you track elapsed time across all your activities. This "Swiss Made" model features a screwed case back ensuring water resistance to 20 ATM.

The Dial

This watch features an attractive taupe dial that enhances its sporty appeal. With a semi-gloss finish and a striped design at the center, it exudes a dynamic character. Ensuring easy time reading in all conditions, it is swept by two arrow hands in dark gray that move fluidly to display the hours and minutes. The small seconds counter at 3 o'clock handles the seconds display. Two additional counters at 6 and 9 o'clock support the chronograph complication, complemented by a thin blue central hand for seconds totalization - displaying 12 hours and 30 minutes respectively. The dial's edge features a minute track marked with lines and dots, with the first 20 minutes set against a blue background for a striking visual effect. A date window completes the layout, alongside eleven baton indexes for quick hour reference. Both the indexes and all hands are filled with a white luminescent material for excellent low-light legibility. Finally, the brand places its name beneath its logo at 12 o'clock, with the "Swiss Made" label printed opposite.

The Movement

This watch is driven by a high-quality quartz movement - specifically the caliber 5030D - ensuring smooth, accurate performance for the hands, date window, and counters. Manufactured by the renowned Ronda brand, this Swiss mechanism is known for its outstanding reliability in all conditions. Equipped with a stop-seconds function, it runs on a battery delivering a power reserve of 54 months.

The Strap

This watch is paired with a silicone strap that adds a sporty yet timeless elegance. With a lug width of 22 mm, it features a striking blue tone that coordinates effortlessly with any outfit. Its design is elevated by embossed patterns for a more dynamic look. Easy to fasten thanks to its pin buckle, the strap is made from black PVD 316L stainless steel for lasting security and comfort.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a serious companion for your deepest aquatic adventures. Designed for freediving, it handles pressure washing, showering, bathing, swimming, and apnea diving with ease. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. One last reminder: never operate the crown or pushers while submerged, to keep the movement fully protected.
