The story of one of the most innovative chronographs ever produced by the Swiss watchmaking industry began at the turn of the millennium with a brilliant insight from Palmiro Monti, who was the Eberhard CEO at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the brand, the great intuition he had was to develop a technical expedient which would make reading the two chronographic counters, which up until that time were standardised on two or three dials located at 12, 3 and 9 o\u2019clock, more logical and intuitive.<\/p>\n

Modifying the traditional movements to answer this specification was no easy task; a modification of this import demanded enormous technical expertise and the willingness to commit a significant investment.<\/p>\n

After trying for a number of years, his dream finally came true in 2001 when he patented an add-on device to the basic movement enabling four counters to be aligned in a logical and aesthetically pleasing way.<\/p>\n

The success of Chrono 4 was immediate. Consumers understood it was revolutionary and rewarded it with commercial results that exceeded expectations, which encouraged Eberhard to offer other, highly attractive, versions of this mechanical jewel.<\/p>\n

To celebrate its evolution, Eberhard has introduced the new Chrono 4 which embodies all the technical expertise developed by the House over almost 140 years of dedication to chronography, with a visual appeal in keeping with contemporary styling.<\/p>\n

The case is 42mm in diameter, the most popular size in today\u2019s sports watches market.<\/p>\n

The finish is polished, as is the steel bezel featured on one of the two versions, the other having a ceramic bezel and a more sporty-looking tachymeter scale.<\/p>\n

The Caliber EB. 251 is unchanged, a patented Eberhard & Co. product that has been a Chrono 4 mainstay since its introduction.<\/p>\n

The wide selection of dials, all protected by sapphire glass cases with internal anti-reflective coating, features \u201cClous de Paris\u201d processing in the central area and \u2018azur\u00e9e\u2019 for the four counters, and ranges from an overall black, white or air-force grey appearance to contrast versions in black\/white or silver\/black.<\/p>\n

Straps are available in steel, rubber or alligator to suit any requirement, and can also be fitted with the exclusive D\u00e9clic folding clasp.<\/p>\n
