Annual calendar LIGHT

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

Radical milling, Al Mg Si 1, and a new lightweight strap.

40% lighter.
The ochs und junior annual calendar is already a relatively light watch. In grade 5 titanium, it weighs 61.99g (39mm) and 70.83g (42mm). With its analog date spiral, 6-part annual calendar function, and short lugs for a comfortable fit, Ludwig Oechslin designed it to be as functional as possible. In March 2016, HODINKEE named Oechslin’s annual calendar in its Perpetual Calendar Buyer’s Guide, writing “this annual calendar is so damn cool we had to include it”.

annual calendar LIGHT is a new edition of Oechslin's annual calendar that weighs 40% less than the original and is equally robust, skin-friendly and water-resistant (50m).

A threefold approach was taken to saving weight:

Radical milling: every gram of material not necessary for the strength and stability of the case is milled away.
Al Mg Si 1: The dial, calendar function, and hands are manufactured out of the light-weight aluminum alloy Al Mg Si 1.
New lightweight strap: A newly-designed kevlar strap and carbon fiber buckle.

annual calendar LIGHT weighs 39.97g in 39mm (-43.2%) and 42.94g in 42mm (-42.02%).
