CHRONODATE TITANIUM STORM BLUE BRACELET

Introducing an exciting new dial tone to the collection, the Angelus Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue with titanium bracelet is infused with beautiful nuances of vintage styling. A contemporary sports watch of prestige, this exceptional edition enjoys the advantage of a precision in-house automatic Manufacture movement by La Joux-Perret, with column-wheel and horizontal clutch chronograph arrangement. Presented in a complex titanium casing, complemented by a sports steel bracelet, this incredibly stylish watch references design codes from this distinguished Swiss watchmaking company’s historical portfolio, not least their legendary Chronodato models from the 1940s.

Rendered in a contemporary blue tone and enhanced with touches of black and vibrant red, the centre of the Angelus Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue’s dial has an alluring frosted finish. Designed to be highly legible, the watch features well-proportioned in-set counters for the small seconds and the 30-minute timer. Giving a sense of depth, the hour numerals are applied, and together with the hour and minute hands these elements have been enhanced with Super-LumiNova which emits a blue glow. From the centre, the red-tipped chronograph hand is joined by a pointer date hand, which stretches out with a red arrow-tip to its display at the perimeter.

Measuring 42.5mm across, the casing on the Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue by Angelus is meticulously finished and highly complex. The 12-notched bezel, crown and case middle are of lightweight yet highly durable titanium. Introducing cutting-edge materials to the mix, the movement is cradled within a carbon fibre composite inner casing with the pushers, also in carbon fibre connecting directly to it. Lending a further technical aspect, the bezel ring is also rendered from carbon fibre. Characterised by alternating angles and curves, the Angelus Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue has a contemporary sports feel, which is reaffirmed by its openworked lugs which are styled to seamlessly embrace the black steel bracelet.

Beating within, the automatic in-house Manufacture A-500 movement by La Joux-Perret incorporates a column wheel and horizontal coupling clutch mechanism, the defining feature of a high-end chronograph complication. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the calibre has a contemporary finish, with NAC-treated and micro-blasted bridges and a rotor decorated with the company’s signature ‘A’ motif. Equipped with a power reserve of 60 hours, it has a frequency of 28’800 vib/h.

The Angelus Chronodate Titanium Storm Blue edition watch comes presented on a pristine titanium bracelet, secured with a titanium folding clasp.
