A new interpretation of Eberhard & Co.'s CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO. Presented in 2007 by the House in the chrono version with various dial and strap executions, it has been released with a new black look, in a limited edition of 333 pieces. Baselworld 2009 will be the showcase of this special edition. CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO NOIR limited edition retains the automatic movement of the previous versions. The oscillating mass can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back, entirely decorated in circular grain C6tes de Gen2ve and bearing the House's ancient emblem, an elegant shield, whose letter "E" is in 18ct gold. The large size case (0 43 mm.), is made of carbon-treated steel (DLC acronym for Diamond Like Carbon) and was used by Eberhard & Co. for the first time on the special edition CHRONO 4 TEMERARIO. This treatment, protected by an international patent, gives the steel an extremely high degree of hardness, comparable only with that of the diamond, and protects the metal from scratches and humidity. Apart from the case itself, the DLC treatment is applied to the unusually curved chronograph push-pieces, the screw-in crown and the buckle of the strap, which is made of rubber and is naturally ... strictly black. In order to reflect the black spirit of the new CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO, the dial is also proposed only in black, with the sole hint of colour being the contrasting red of the numerical references on the tachymeter scale, the seconds hand, the counter hands and the outline of the small date window. CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO NOIR limited edition: a new protagonist, elegant and at the same time daring ... a new classic ... black.
