Description

A great new performer makes a dramatic stage entrance, revealing its legendary mechanism through a fascinating openworked design: the CHRONOMASTER EL PRIMERO TOURBILLON SKELETON. The 45 mm rose gold case frames the skeleton dial, in an impressive architectural display showcasing the intricacies of the El Primero mechanism. Issued in a 150-piece limited edition, this complicated model with a fiery temperament features a tourbillon along with a high-frequency chronograph. BREATHTAKING VISION The Chronomaster El Primero Tourbillon Skeleton provides a stunning view of the legendary engine inside, the El Primero Calibre 4035 automatic chronograph tourbillon movement delivering an over 50-hour power reserve. Its swift-paced 5 Hz cadence drives the ruthenium-blackened, facetted and luminescent hands sweeping over matching hour-markers. Openworked counters and a minute ring screw-secured to the movement enhance this three-dimensional display. The 45 mm-diameter case framing a skeleton dial conveys an image of perfectly mastered complexity. INIMITABLE STYLE This alluring 150-piece limited edition model associates the tourbillon with a high-frequency chronograph in resolutely innovative, futuristic mode. The tourbillon carriage performing one rotation per minute is offset at 11 oclock, while the openworked chronograph counters form a figure eight. The elegant nature of the Chronomaster El Primero Tourbillon Skeleton is accentuated by a brown alligator leather strap with protective rubber lining and a rose gold triple folding clasp.
