Carl F. Bucherer brought a new turn to conventional watchmaking with its innovative and pioneering calibre A1000 in 2009. It was the first mechanical movement to come with a peripheral winding rotor in lieu of a centrally mounted one. Subsequently, for the first time, an automatic movement could be seen in its entirety from the sapphire crystal caseback. This Patravi Day-Date is driven by an enhanced version of A1000 - CFB A1001. Like A1000, this calibre also assures high accuracy, shock resistance, and 55 hours of power reserve.

The movement is housed inside a 44mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case with chamfered lugs and sits like a dress watch on the wrist. The dial is furnished with a clean, streamlined appeal, characteristic of the house. A big date window is unconventionally placed at 11 o'clock with a day aperture at nine and a running second sub-register at six. Overall, this Patravi is a versatile timepiece that can be donned by patrons of varying tastes.

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.
