The new "Chronomat B01 42" that inherited the design of the Chronomat "First Model" announced in 1984.However, the work suggests the details reminiscent of the former masterpiece and the "All -Pass Watch" that can be used anywhere instead of a pilot watch while reviving the Loulo bracelet.This time, I would like to dig into the exterior of the Japanese limited model, "Chronomat B01 42 Japan Edition", and see why the new Chronomat is an all -pass watch.

Chronomat B01 42, a new Chrono mat, which made a model change in 2020.Speaking of the feature of the work, the fact that many designs reminiscent of the 1984 model, such as reviving the Roulo bracelet and making the rugs a short straight shape, reducing the total length of the head.
However, "Chronomat B01 42" did not return to the origin.The chrono mat in 1984 was popular because the stylish design was as a result of the pilot -like wearing, but in the first place, it was developed in anticipation of the Italian Air Force pilot.It was a pilot watch based on "Frecce Tricoroli".On the other hand, the new chronomat is defined as a versatile watch that has a sport watch outfit, but has the flexibility corresponding to any scene.
How could you create a clock that can be worn without choosing a user or TPO, while leaving a design for a limited situation called a "instrument for professional"?I want to read the secret from the exterior of the Japanese limited model.

When you pick up the Chronomat B01 42, the first thing that catches your eyes is the bracelet.The Roulo bracelet used in the "First Model" is standard equipment in a model other than the 18kRG case in this work.
クロノマット B01 42でおよそ20年ぶりに復活したルーローブレスレット。コマが幅広なため、重厚感あるヘッドとのバランスに優れる。This loro bracelet is so good that it cannot be compared with the original.First, the feeling of wearing.Depending on the frame, it is so wide that it has a wide range of rugs, so you can firmly support the heavy head.The left and right play of the bracelet is small, so the wrist fits better than the size of the clock.
The touch has been improved compared to the former Roulo bracelet.This is clear if you look at the photos on the back.The frame has a firm muscle on even on the back side, and above all, the connection part of each frame is reduced to reduce the skin hitting the skin.
ルーローブレスレットの表側と裏側。基本的に装着中は見えない裏側もしっかりと仕上げが施されている。結果、肌触りは良好だ。It is also worth noting that all frames can be disassembled, so elaborate finishes are given.Each piece of frames based on satin finish is covered, and two places and polish finish links are incorporated into each frame.The lightly polished polished finish in the satin finish creates a luxury that does not stop in a professional instrument.
ルーローブレスレットに惜しみなく手間をかけていることが伝わる画像。各コマには面取りが施されるほか、ひとコマおきにポリッシュ仕上げのリングが2箇所組み込まれている。In addition, durability has been improved compared to the first model.In the past, the Loulo bracelet was welded and fixed to the pins, but the welding sometimes came off while using the clock.It may be one of the reasons why each frame fits the wrist and has a good feeling of wearing, but has disappeared from the market.
On the other hand, Chronomat B01 42 has improved the durability as incomparable to the first model by cutting out each one of the frames.In addition, since all frames can be broken, the play for each frame has become uniform, and the feeling of wearing has been further improved.
The simplicity of each frame has also contributed to high reliability.The image below is a cut that conveys the connection method.
ブレスレットの連結方法が分かるカット。削り出しのコマとコマをピンで留め、連結部分にカバーを被せるだけのシンプルな構造だが、耐久性に優れる上、見た目以上に軽い。At first glance, the bracelet seems to be connected with a frame with two polish and the satin finish only.However, in fact, the polished frames are connected with a pin, covered with a satin -finished cover on the connecting part with a long pin.
With this method, it will not break easily, and the weight of the entire bracelet will be reduced.
