Zeno-Watch Basel - ZENO-WATCH BASEL SUPERLATIVE CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC – REF

ZENO-WATCH BASEL SUPERLATIVE CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC – REF. 9559 – SWISS MADE – 51 JEWELS Swiss automatic chronograph of great elegance and extraordinary presence Magnificent Zeno-Watch Basel Superlative Chronograph Automatic Ref. 9559, a sophisticated piece of Swiss mechanical watchmaking that combines classical elegance, technical complexity and a distinctive historical-inspired aesthetics. This exceptional chronograph stands out immediately for its elaborate clear dial with guilloché decoration, its balanced tricompax layout and the elegant applied details in warm tones. The dial bears the signature: ZENO-WATCH BASEL SUPERLATIVE CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC 30 MT A timepiece of great character, conceived for the lover of traditional mechanical watchmaking and automatic Swiss Made chronographs. ZENO-WATCH BASEL: SWISS WATCHMAKING TRADITION Zeno-Watch Basel represents a long tradition linked to Swiss mechanical watchmaking. The brand has developed, throughout its history, a wide collection of watches characterized by a strong personality, classical-inspired designs, and special attention to mechanical movements. This chronograph perfectly reflects that spirit. Its architecture, its complex dial and the automatic movement visible through the case back make the watch especially attractive to collectors and enthusiasts of traditional watchmaking. AN EXTRAORDINARY DECORATED DIAL The dial is one of the most impressive elements of the watch. Its surface features a complex pattern of concentric and wavy lines that creates a spectacular visual effect. Depending on how light hits it, the dial produces different reflections and depths. The decoration extends almost across the entire surface, creating a rich and sophisticated composition. In contrast, the three subdials are perfectly distributed. The use of small red typographic details adds an elegant sporty character without altering the refined overall aesthetics of the watch. TRICOMPAX CONFIGURATION The watch presents a classic and balanced arrangement of three subdials. Minute counter at 9 o’clock Identified by the red inscription: MIN. Its scale allows recording the chronograph minutes. Second counter at 3 o’clock Identified by: SEC. Features a detailed scale with peripheral numerals. Hour counter at 6 o’clock Identified by: HOUR. Completes the chronographic architecture of the watch. The triangular arrangement of the three registers provides extraordinary visual symmetry. APPLIED INDEXES AND LARGE RAMPS The dial incorporates large applied numerals at the positions: 12 – 3 – 6 – 9 These elements present an elegant warm tone that contrasts perfectly with the light dial background. The remaining hour positions are represented by applied faceted indices. Their geometry catches and reflects light from different angles. The outer minute track completes the composition and reinforces the instrumental character of the chronograph. MECHANICAL AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH This Zeno-Watch Basel features an automatic mechanical movement with chronograph function. The automatic system uses the natural motion of the wrist to keep the mechanism wound. The two pushers located on either side of the crown allow you to operate the chronograph functions. The complexity of a mechanical chronograph lies in the integration of numerous additional components designed to start, stop and record time intervals. One of the most emblematic and appreciated complications of mechanical watchmaking. SWISS MOVEMENT – 51 JEWELS Through the transparent case back the automatic movement can be viewed directly. The rotor clearly bears the inscriptions: SWISS 51 JEWELS The indication of 51 jewels reflects the complex architecture of the mechanical system. Jewel bearings in watchmaking act as support points for various moving elements of the mechanism, reducing friction and wear. The visible movement provides an additional appeal for any mechanical watch enthusiast. The rotor, balance, and different components can be seen directly through the back. TRANSPARENT BACK The rear features an elegant stainless steel case back with a central transparent window. Around the back are various technical inscriptions visible in the photographs: STAINLESS STEEL SWISS MADE 30 MT DUBOIS DEPRAZ REF. 9559 These inscriptions add technical character and identity to the piece. The display back allows visual enjoyment of the watch’s mechanical heart without opening the case.
