Detail
The Black Dial Chronograph Annual Calendar represents a true rarity in the world of fine watchmaking: the seamless integration of two major complications into a single, harmonious timepiece. While many watches offer one or the other, this model stands apart by delivering both the dynamic functionality of a chronograph and the intelligent convenience of an annual calendar, all within an elegant 40.5mm package.
Its foundation is a pristine 18K white gold case, polished to a brilliant luster that exudes confidence and success. The screw-down crown and integrated chronograph pushers are not just functional; they are sculptural elements that add to the watch’s commanding presence. The dial is a study in clarity and depth: a classic black opaline dial provides the perfect high-contrast backdrop for the complex information it displays. Applied white gold hour markers and hands ensure legibility under any condition.
The layout is a masterclass in intuitive design. The central hand serves as the chronograph seconds indicator. At 6 o'clock, a single, bi-functional subdial elegantly combines the chronograph 30-minute counter with a 24-hour indicator. Complementing this is the full annual calendar system, with apertures for the day at 9 o'clock, the month at 3 o'clock, and the date prominently at 12 o'clock. This ingenious configuration means you only need to adjust the date once a year, making it the ultimate practical luxury companion.
It is presented on a sophisticated black alligator leather strap with square scales, a choice that enhances its formal versatility and pairs perfectly with the dark dial. The matching 18K white gold pin buckle completes the look with a final touch of cohesive elegance. Powering this exceptional creation is a high-grade automatic movement featuring both chronograph and annual calendar functions, offering a generous 55-hour power reserve for reliable, long-lasting performance.
For the discerning collector who demands more than just aesthetics—that seeks true mechanical ingenuity and daily utility—this dual-complication timepiece is a definitive statement. It is more than a watch; it is a testament to the art of combining form and function at the highest level. Explore our full range of innovative timepieces in the Nautilus-inspired Collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a watch with both a chronograph and an annual calendar so rare and special?
Combining a chronograph and an annual calendar in a single movement is an immense technical challenge. Both are complex mechanisms that require significant space and energy. Integrating them without compromising on reliability, legibility, or aesthetics is a feat achieved by only a handful of the world's most esteemed watchmakers. Owning such a timepiece signifies an appreciation for the pinnacle of mechanical ingenuity and practical luxury.
How does the dual-function subdial at 6 o'clock work?
The subdial at 6 o'clock is a marvel of efficient design. The longer central hand on this subdial tracks elapsed minutes for the chronograph function (up to 30 minutes). Simultaneously, the outer track of the same subdial serves as a 24-hour indicator, allowing you to distinguish between AM and PM at a glance. This clever integration keeps the dial clean and uncluttered while maximizing functionality.
Is this dual-complication watch suitable for daily wear?
Absolutely. Despite its advanced mechanics, this watch is designed for real-world use. The annual calendar only needs to be adjusted once a year (at the end of February), and the chronograph is ready to time anything from a business meeting to a sporting event. Its 18K white gold construction ensures durability and lasting beauty, making it a versatile and reliable companion for the modern gentleman who values both performance and style.
