A Highly Anticipated Return Since 2006

The word "Superleggera," proudly displayed in red on the dial and engraved on the case back, marks the latest J12 model from Chanel, created for the man who loves cars.ChronographThis is a highly anticipated return, following the second model released in 2006.

While retaining the classic layout of its predecessor with two sub-dials arranged horizontally (a 30-minute chronograph counter and small seconds), and powered by an automatic chronograph movement that has passed COSC precision testing, the case and bracelet have been updated with high-tech ceramic and an SS bezel.

Significant improvements have also been made, such as relocating the tachymeter scale from the bezel to the inner bezel for enhanced clarity and usability. Both white and black colorways are appealing, but the white version, in particular, emphasizes a sense of lightness and sportiness.
