The echo/neutra 1956 Chrono GMT Cappuccino is a new addition to the world of contemporary chronographs. This watch combines a rich horological heritage from the 1950s with modern features designed for travelers. The 1956 Chrono GMT Cappuccino aims to establish a unique identity in the world of chronographs. With its stainless steel 316L case, the watch measures 40mm in diameter, making it suitable for everyday wear.
The watch features a 14.8mm thickness, including the crystal, due to the integration of multiple mechanical functions within the movement. The screwed crown contributes to the overall resistance of the piece, while the 100-meter water resistance allows for daily use with adequate protection for common activities. The watch has a 20mm lug width and a 46mm lug-to-lug length, influencing its comfort on the wrist.
The caseback features the collection's logo in relief, and the ceramic bezel adds a modern touch with a telemetric scale, traditionally associated with sports chronographs. The Cappuccino dial is a distinctive element, organized to display multiple pieces of information simultaneously. The watch combines a GMT function, a complete chronograph, and a day/night display.
The dial features classic hours and minutes, a dedicated GMT hand for a second time zone, and a central second hand linked to the chronograph function. A small second hand is located at 9 o'clock, alongside the day/night indicator. The chronograph counters occupy dedicated positions: a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock and a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock.
The watch is powered by the Sellita SW532M b movement, an automatic mechanical caliber developed to integrate multiple functions within a compact architecture. This caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour, or 4 Hz, providing modern stability. It features 21 jewels to minimize friction between mobile components.
The Sellita SW532M b movement offers a 62-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to continue functioning for several days after being removed from the wrist. The movement must manage multiple simultaneous indications: chronograph, GMT, small second, and day/night display. This combination requires an adapted design to maintain smooth use of the different functions.
The echo/neutra 1956 Chrono GMT Cappuccino is available online at a price of 1,970 euros. It targets enthusiasts seeking a mechanical watch that combines multiple complications within a case inspired by historical chronograph codes. With its Sellita SW532M b movement, GMT display, and integrated chronograph, this reference aims to blend a vintage approach with functions adapted to current uses.
