Thread: Clerc Hydroscaph Central Chronograph Steel

Here’s a new model unveiled this week by Clerc Geneve — the Hydroscaph Steel Central Chronograph, in a limited edition of 500 pieces in choice of metals (with or without DLC finish). You may be familiar with the Hydroscaph and its unique (“square in circle”), highly complex case (103 parts) that makes it one of the most exceptional dive watches on the market today. This particular model represents a modest extension of the Hydroscaph Central Chronograph lineup, following the very colorful Clerc Clockwork Orange (Feb 2011) and before that the Hydroscaphe Central Chronograph in a beautiful blend of black and orange (March 2011). See below for an explanation of how the central chronograph works and the other dial functions. Gerald Clerc appears to have a winner on his hands here with the Hydroscaph Central Chronograph series. But let me be the first to say, a winning ticket is no good unless you cash it in. I have yet to see any Clerc's readily available through any of the usual watch channels.

(sigh) I kind of wish I'd bought that one Hydroscaph three months ago...

ahh...Seth i'm sure one will cross your path soon enough. I sincerely hope they become more available. I've been rather dissapointed in their seemingly limited availability and production.
