Based on functionality, most chronographs feature a “binocular” or “triocular” dial design, as well as two chronograph keys. However, although there are “templates” first, each brand also has its own design ideas and is constantly innovating. In today’s article, we will take a look at the three chronographs recently released by the bezel and taste their respective tastes!

There is also a calendar window at 4 o’clock. The top of the hour and minute hands and the Arabic numeral time are coated with luminescent coating.
