Press release
The complexity of the construction process, which makes this chronograph even more precious, allows in fact for only a limited production. The 46 mm case of Chrono 4 Géant “Full Injection” is particularly remarkable for the use of a special treatment consisting in an advanced low temperature carbon diffusion. This allows the carbon to penetrate the steel surface for 30 µm (micrometers), thus producing a structural hardening. With the steel's hardness increase, the watch-case wear-resistance and fatigue-limit are improved. Afterwards, the beautiful black colour is obtained thanks to the treatment DLC – Dianoir® - Diamond Like Coating – which, by providing the steel case and buckle with a black coating, gives the watch a particularly sporty and attractive look.
Chrono 4 Géant Full Injection is unique also from the styling point of view: the black shade is extended to the chronograph push buttons and crown and the black dial, with black counters and red counters' hands, features a circular metal plate with a “Côtes de Genève” decor. The name of the model - “Full Injection“ – is engraved on the case-back. Water-resistant to 200 metres, this chronograph comes with a vertically sculpted rubber strap that underlines its explosive energy.
Chrono 4 Géant has been made stronger than ever, because when the going gets tough, the tough get going...
