Swann

A DIAL THAT POPS

The magenta dial of the Swann is a confident signal to colour aficionados looking for the next leading dial colour to add to their collection. The all-over sunray anodised dial contrasts with the duck egg blue markings, striking orange highlights, and mid-blue needle on the minute sub-dial. On detailed inspection, you'll see that punched through the main dial design are equal inset, oversized bi-compax sub-dials with micro-fine spun detailing. A raised telemeter inner bezel runs the perimeter (used to determine distance based on time), featuring mid-blue numerals against a fresh white backdrop.

COMPACT AND ELABORATE CASE

Each of the Chrono-Classic dial editions are housed in an elaborate marine-grade steel case which has a 13.2mm height from the base to its domed sapphire crystal peak. The compact and elegant steel case compliments the details of the dial while being highly wearable on the wrist at 39mm in size. The sapphire glass has an internal multi-layer anti-reflective coating. Case details include a bead-blasted inset on the case sides, with contrasting polished borders. A stainless steel crown with a recessed bronze cap finishes off the exterior styling, flanked by two oblong pushers. The case back is a screw-down type and features a polished and brushed finish, that frames an exhibition sapphire glass, showing off the delicately finished movement within.

The real talking point with the Chrono-Classic collection is the movement. Dubois Dépraz is a name that needs little introduction, working with some of the world’s most famous Swiss watch brands. The DD2022 movement features a 43-hour power reserve and has an overall thickness of just 6.9mm, decorated with blue screws and finished with a bespoke bronze coloured cut out turbine rotor. When you study most Chronograph watches you will notice that the crown is offset against the start/stop buttons. Once you have noticed this it’s hard to ignore and that’s why Dubois Dépraz have created an innovative solution that aligns the crown centrally in the casing. Not only does it make ‘on wrist’ adjustment much easier but it creates an aesthetically pleasing look to the side of the case.

STORY

When chronographs arrived in the Olympics in the early 20th century, they set new precedents for accurate timing. Before the 1912 Olympics, judges of each discipline used their own stopwatches, often supplied by different brands, which led to many inaccuracies with timing results. In 1912, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) introduced an official timekeeper. For the first time, chronographs were used to accurately record times in athletics down to one-hundredth of a second. The Chrono-Classic collection pays tribute to some of the ground-breaking, British Olympic gold medallists from the 1912 games in Stockholm.

Named after Sidney Swann, the only Cambridge member in the Great Britain Men’s Eight Rowing team that took gold in 1912. Swann was the first Manx person to win an Olympic Gold, a feat unmatched for a hundred years.
