Sporty design with an automatic chronograph mechanism visible through the case back.
LOCMAN's new "Montecristo Open Heart" is a watch with a bold design, where the heart of the automatic chronograph mechanism is revealed through the transparent dial and a crystal opening on the titanium case back. It utilizes the Swiss-made Sellita SW500 movement, featuring a stop-seconds function. The transparent dial displays three sub-dials (hours, minutes, seconds) and a date window, framed by a flange with numerals and a tachymeter scale, creating a sporty impression. The Italian flag at the 6 o'clock position signifies LOCMAN's roots.
The 44mm AISI 316L surgical steel case features alternating polished and satin finishes. Three models are offered, combining this case with low-allergy rubber or natural leather straps, or an stainless steel bracelet attached via three bar lugs. For collectors, two additional models are available with stainless steel cases treated with black or blue PVD coating. These are produced in a limited run of 350 pieces each, commemorating the brand's 35th anniversary.
