Following the success of the original Chronotimer models, we are proud to present a new design which has been two years in the making and introduces an entirely redesigned case. The Geckota Sports Mechanical Chronotimer is presented in a choice of four dial variations: Grey, Green, Red and Teal. By popular demand, the Sports Chronotimer models are equipped with a hand-wound mechanical chronograph movement.
Available in very limited numbers the pre-orders for this new edition will open on the 15th October 2024 for delivery in early November. Sign up using the link below to be the first to be notified when the listings go live.
We will be at the Bristol Watch Show on the 23rd November 2024 and all models will be on display, we hope to see you there.
The remodelled three-piece case of the Sports Chronotimer is presented with polished and brushed details, screw down case back, drilled through lugs and measures at a slim 12.35mm in total case height. Crafted from durable stainless steel, the 41.50mm cushion style case is accentuated with custom colour inserts on the crown and pushers, adding a unique flair to this elegant timepiece.
Cleverly designed to wear smaller than its dimensions might suggest, it sits comfortably on the wrist while the 47.80mm lug-to-lug distance ensures a balanced fit for any occasion.
Completing the design is a custom-made, top-quality leather strap, offering both comfort and durability. The strap’s fine craftsmanship perfectly complements the watch, ensuring it looks as good on casual days as it does when dressed up for formal occasions.
At the heart of the Sports Chronotimer collection beats the remarkable 19-jewel TY2901 chronograph movement, a tribute to timeless watchmaking, delivering mechanical precision with every tick.
Crafted at the Tianjin watch factory, this reliable hand-wound movement is based on the vintage Swiss Venus Calibre 175 design, featuring blued screws and polished, bevelled bridges with intricate patterns. It offers impressive accuracy, with a deviation of around 20 seconds per day, and is completed by a power reserve of approximately 42-hours.
With 10ATM water resistance, this chronograph is both durable and refined, perfectly suited for everything from boardroom meetings to weekend getaways.
Protected by a flat sapphire crystal with a bevelled edge, the dial of the Sports Chronotimer is a true spectacle. The subtle, blue-tinted anti-reflective coating on the inside of the crystal ensures readability in any light, allowing the sunburst-finished dual-layer dial to shine with sophistication.
The dial is adorned with polished indices, illuminated by BGW9 luminous material, providing legibility even in low light.
The polished hour and minute hands are also treated with BGW9 for nighttime visibility, while the painted chronograph second hand and sub-dial hands bring a pop of colour and contrast. Encased by a bevelled and polished fixed bezel, the Sports Chronotimer exudes a refined balance of sportiness and elegance.
