This Patravi Chronodate strikes a perfect balance between form and function, a flair commonly found in Carl F. Bucherer watches. At 44.6mm, this reference 00.10624.08.33.21 is quite notable on the wrist. It is large enough to punctuate your look with a statement style; but also aesthetically subtle to not appear overpowering. The dial is well-arranged and legible, uncluttered despite the presence of several complications. In a complementing colourway, the sub-registers are placed horizontally, while the big date window sits conspicuously at 12 o’clock.

Polished stainless steel forms the round case, held by a handsome steel bracelet that comes secured by a butterfly clasp. The 49-jewelled, automatic calibre 1956 powering this timepiece is visible through the caseback and provides a power reserve of 42 hours. Levelling technical excellence with a pleasing personality, this Carl F. Bucherer harnesses the essentials of contemporary watchmaking to create this edgy and intriguing Patravi.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
