Wyler Genève is known for using rare and unusual materials for creating timepieces. Designing Wyler Genève Chronograph, the company used the “space age metal”, titanium, instead of stainless steel traditionally used for manufacturing base-metal timepieces. It was a wise choice – the Wyler Titanium Chronograph is 45% lighter than steel watches, but has the same strength ratio.
The Wyler Titanium Chronograph features a shock-absorbing case which distinguishes all Wyler watches. This construction consists of two titanium plates which are fastened to a carbon fiber frame holding the container with the movement.
The movement housed inside the case is a self-winding chronograph providing a power reserve of 42 hours. The bridges of the movement are circular-grained, and the black rotor is engraved with the inscription “Wyler Genève”. The Wyler Genève movement is set by a rubber-coated crown which is protected by a titanium bar when locked. The push-pieces resembling car pedals control functioning of the chronograph.
The dial of the Wyler Titanium Chronograph features a distinctive oval ring, applique Arabic numerals and three sub-dials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. The latter display the 1/4th of a second, 30-minute and 12 hour totalisers, respectively. The date window is positioned at 4.30 o’clock. The skeleton hands coated with SuperLuminova are visible even in the dark. Both the dial and the case-back of the watch are protected by an anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The Wyler Titanium Chronograph comes with a strap made from natural black rubber and decorated with the Wyler pattern. The strap is secured by a buckle with titanium screws.
The timepiece is water-resistant to 50 meters, which means that it can be worn in shallow water areas or while showering, but should not be worn while diving.
