Eberhard & Co. the Chrono 4 Colors Limited Edition
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
More than ten years ago, Eberhard introduced the revolutionary Chrono 4, and changed the way we looked at counting hours, minutes and seconds. The beginning of the new millennium also saw the beginning of a new way of viewing elapsed time thanks to Eberhard’s patented device allowing a display of 4 separate inline counters on the face of a watch. The Swiss watchmaker has since re-imagined the look, style and dimensions of this exclusive chronograph in various executions: the enterprising spirit of the Temerario, the sophistication of the Chrono 4 Grande Taille, and finally the energy of the Chrono 4 Géant.
The revolutionary Chrono 4 range of chronographs now boasts an exceptional new edition - - limited to 600 pieces. This superlative timepiece preserves the stylistic balance typical of the Maison Eberhard & Co. while displaying an innovative aesthetic featuring luminous colours on the dial. This latest edition, designed with the sportsman in mind, is dynamic, spirited and multifaceted, suited to those who enjoy thinking outside the box.
The Chrono 4 Colors boasts a 43 mm stainless steel case. The dial is black with a sunray pattern featuring Super-LumiNova luminescent indices in red, yellow, green, blue and black, depending on the version. These details are also displayed in the 4 chronograph hands with azurée finishing on the central second hand and on the Chrono 4 logo. The bezel has a refined black anthracite colour thanks to the use of the patented Dianoir® DLC - Diamond Like Coating process, providing superior resistance against surface scratches.
The refined appearance of the Chrono 4 Colors stems not only from the subtleties of the dial but also from the close attention to detail, such as the use of rubber on the chronograph push-buttons where it covers the circumference, and on the timesetting crown. Waterproof to 50 metres, it comes with a black rubber strap or a Chêne steel bracelet.
With the 5 different shades of the Chrono 4 Colors, the Maison reflects the different aspects of the Eberhard & Co. man, refined and elegant but also enterprising and innovative, with a touch of creative extravagance.
- RED: The Color of vitality but also of passion, for the dynamic and fervent spirit.
- BLUE: The Color of calm and loyalty, for those who are reliable and self - assured.
- GREEN: The Color of rebirth and perseverance, for those whose strength and determination is their greatest strength.
- YELLOW: The Color of gold and fantasy, for the creative and radiant soul.
- BLACK: The Color that Symbolizes mystery and depth, for an enigmatic man.
