Octachrono

Octachrono – For Those Who Won't Choose Between Function and Design

Anyone looking for a watch that can keep up in everyday life and still look good ends up at the Octachrono sooner or later. The octagonal case is the most obvious feature – a shape that signals robustness without reading as bulky. Add a full stopwatch function with three sub-dials. A watch for people who want both and won't compromise on either.

Chronograph function

The Octachrono measures time at the press of a button – with separate sub-dials for seconds, minutes and 24-hour display. The Miyota JS25 quartz movement runs at ±20 seconds per month and provides around two years of battery life. A date window also shows the current day.

Case and materials

40 mm diameter, 9.8 mm high – more compact than many sports watches but with the corresponding substance. The brushed 316L steel case is hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant. Water resistance to 5 ATM: rain, hand washing and incidental water contact are no problem. The sapphire-hardened mineral glass with inner anti-reflective coating protects against scratches and remains readable even in direct sunlight.

Superluminova – readable in the dark

BGW9 Superluminova on the hands: white in daylight, glowing turquoise-blue in the dark. Anyone who wears the watch in the evenings or in poor light will appreciate this – readability is always guaranteed without having to hold the watch to the light.

Who is the Octachrono right for?

For anyone with an active daily life who wants a watch that reflects that – without sacrificing a considered design. The octagonal case gives the Octachrono an independent character that deliberately stands apart from round sports watches. Anyone who wants to wear a watch from morning to evening without changing it is well placed here.

The strap

The steel mesh strap sits close to the wrist, adjusts steplessly and suits the sporty character of the watch well. The leather strap gives the Octachrono slightly more warmth and makes it more everyday-capable beyond sporting contexts. The steel-link bracelet emphasises the robustness of the case. All straps swap tool-free.
