Patravi TravelTec Four X
October 8, 2008

A new Patravi TravelTec Four X combines 3 time zones and 4 materials: palladium for the case, titanium for the inner ring, ceramics for the outer ring and rubber for the crown and pushers. Selected materials turn the latest complete watch movement from the Patravi collection by Carl F. Bucherer into a talking piece and design statement for watch lovers. Together, the four highly diverse materials we can definitely add a fifth dimension: that of exclusivity.
The instrument-orientated Patravi TravelTec Four X has nothing to hide, and so the watchmakers fitted it with a skeleton dial, which openly reveals the gearing of the intricately decorated automatic movement. The refined date aperture provides a real feast to behold under a good magnifying glass: the numerals are milled out of the date rim and stay out of sight until they come into view against a red background in the date window. The technical look of the total concept is strengthened by the colour interplay - matt black, contrasting with gleaming metal, and red, high-lighting important information on the dial. This watch is an instrument, an engineering feat within the smallest of spaces.
As well as being a practical chronograph, this stunning watch, which features the exclusive CFB 1901 calibre (39 jewels) providing power reserve of 42 hours, also boasts a range of functions enabling several time zones to be displayed. The third time display is operated by a newly developed single push-button mechanism. Local time can be quickly and easily set, moving the hour hand an hour at a time using the crown, while the watch continues running, ensuring that the exact time is kept. Together with the red 24-hour hand, two 24-hour rings show a second and third time zone – the Patravi TravelTec can thus display the time in three locations in the world at the same time. The inner ring can be moved an hour at a time both forwards and backwards, using a brand new single push-button mechanism – a first in the history of watchmaking. The watch is 50 meters water resistant and features a calf leather strap.
