Damasko 42mm Chronograph with a Unique 60-Minute Stopwatch Function #DC80

The DC80 is a new chronograph based on the DAMASKO chronograph caliber C51 that is a standout in the DC8X series. The main criterion of this new design was to significantly increase the ease of readability of the chronograph functions.

Damasko focused on the creation of a 60 stop-minute display that reads from the center of the dial (as opposed to a 60-minute sub-dial). Thanks to this new patented design, it is possible to record stop times more easily, accurately and quickly. It offers two key advantages: 60 minutes, instead of the usual 30 minutes, are counted in a hand revolution, and the allocated minute-stop scale can be seen across the full face diameter of the watch.

The DC80 has a 42mm (43.3mm overall with bezel) ice-hardened stainless steel case, a screw-down crown, and a robust screw-in case back. The hands and hour markers are treated with SuperLuminova X1 GL C1 white 10 luminous material. It comes on a padded black leather strap with contrasting white and green stitching. Powering the watch is the new C51-1 movement with 48 hours of power reserve. Flat, AR Sapphire crystal provides a clear view of the time.
