The Essence of Racing Machines in Every Detail
The "Superfast Chrono" is a mechanical chronograph equipped with the "Chopard 03-05-M" movement, manufactured by Fleurier Ébauches, Chopard's state-of-the-art movement production facility established in July 2008.
Naturally, it meets the precision standards of the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and features a flyback function, allowing for immediate resetting and restarting of timing even during measurement.
The dial features a striped pattern inspired by the "racing stripes" painted on car bodies, with colors and a design reminiscent of sports car instrument panels.
Further details include a bezel with a tachymeter, securely assembled with hexagonal nuts reminiscent of wheel nuts; deep slits carved into the lugs, inspired by radiator fins, and intricate movement decorations; and a rubber strap designed to evoke slick tires. Every element carries the essence of a modern racing machine.
While many chronographs are themed around motorsport, few possess such a modern, yet sporty and powerful design. This timepiece is perfectly suited for those who command the latest supercars.
