The new chronograph from Pierre De Roche boasts some of the brand’s recognizable elements, such as the 60-minute counter, a symbol of Pierre DeRoche, and the visible mechanism made by Dubois Dépraz. The see-through sapphire dial shows lots of the movement details from any angle. The movement is also visible through a sapphire crystal case back.

The beating heart of the new TNT Chrono 43 is the automatic chronograph movement with decorated and engraved oscillating weight. This exclusive Dubois Dépraz caliber is built on 49 jewels and provides the usual functions of hours, minutes, seconds, as well as a chronograph and date functions. For the first time ever in the TNT series, all the functions are displayed on a dial.

Its bezel, lugs, crown protection and screw-lock crown are crafted from steel, while the middle of the case is made of black PVD-treated titanium. The case measures 43mm in diameter and it is water resistant to 100 meters (approximately 330 feet).
