Crafted from titanium, a material rarely seen in watchmaking at the time of its production, this chronograph, identified by number 80, is a testament to Genta’s pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of innovation. Known for its exceptional strength, lightness, and resistance to corrosion, titanium is not only a practical choice but also an aesthetic one, lending this piece a striking matte finish. The dial, made from shimmering mother-of-pearl, adds an element of refinement and elegance to the robust titanium case and bracelet. The dial layout is meticulously balanced, featuring blue chronograph subdials and minute markers, paired with luminous dots and hands for enhanced legibility. The case itself is a work of art, featuring a special decorative motif of beaded textures along its sides and crown. This watch is a prime example of the brand’s philosophy, merging cutting-edge materials like titanium with luxurious details such as the mother-of-pearl dial and an efficient quartz movement. The bracelet, crafted in titanium to match the case, further emphasizes the watch’s modern and industrial aesthetic. Its special design, with rounded links that mirror the case’s beaded detailing, ensures a cohesive and harmonious look.
