| The centrally-mounted chronograph seconds and minutes open up space on the dial for an additional function. Where a chronograph subdial would have been, the designers installed a 24-hour second time zone display which naturally indicates whether it is day or night in the second time zone. To maintain the dial’s symmetry, the continuous seconds are positioned on a subdial at 6 o’clock.
This zeroing of the twin centrally-axial hands gave rise to the “TwinFly” name. This new caliber is also endowed with two barrels which provide multiple benefits. Pressing the button at 4 o’clock while the chronograph is running causes both the central chronograph seconds hand and the red sixty-minute totalizer to “fly back” to their zero positions and,good watches, without further action by the wearer,replica panerai, immediately begin measuring a new interval. The power reserve is 72 hours,watches wall, and the twin barrels generate ample power to compensate for differences in torque that occur when the chronograph function is switched on and off. The TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph is available in three versions, each 43mm in diameter. At the top of the line is the model pictured below which has a light and scratch-resistant DLC-coated titanium case. This piece will be issued in a limited edition of 300 pieces priced at $11,820. Also available are stainless steel models on strap at $7660, or on bracelet at $7920. The back of the case is equipped with a sapphire crystal so aficionados can appreciate the movement with skeletonized rotor beneath. This compensation reduces the difference in amplitude that accompanies the activation and deactivation of the chronograph function. The result is a more stable rate in each of the watch’s operating states. |
