The ROTONDE watch 2007 is a resolutely sporty model. It looked every inch the part when launched in 2006, and that dynamic appearance is now matched by a corresponding functional capacity.

ROTONDE watch 2007

It arrived on the scene last autumn with its round case and notched bezel, adorned with six round screw heads on hexagonal lozenges. It now features a distinctive quartz chronograph which, in addition to the classic central seconds hand, also offers a retrograde 60-minute counter at 10 o’clock and a five-minute display on a retrograde counter at 2 o’clock, while the analog small seconds subdial appears at 6 o’clock. The ROTONDE chronograph comes in two lines composed of three models each. The “Black Line” is distinguished by a brand-new PVD charcoal grey coating that is both shiny and ultra-resistant.

Dominating the 42 mm-diameter case and its specially designed matching bracelet with the brand’s characteristic visible side screws echoed on the first links, the material provides a perfect backdrop for the steel or red-coloured accents. This eminently masculine character is reinforced by daring black-lacquered or red-lacquered dials, and a third particularly high-tech one in carbon fibre. The “All Steel” line is a more urban kind of sports model with all-steel case and bracelet, discreet touches of red on the bezel and a choice of black-lacquered, white-lacquered or carbon fibre dial.
