We are living at a time when product and corporate traditions mean more than a simple conservation of the past. Tradition, the cultivation of tradition and the enhancement of customer loyalty, crucially contribute to the creation of a product's image - this applies as much to watches as to our automobiles. It is difficult not to be intrigued by a history of more than 100 years - be that the history of automobiles or of watches. As a result, watches resemble automobiles - not only as collector's items, but also as cult objects.The <> chronograph is yet another creation of Mercedes Benz exclusive design and, like it's predecessors, was developed in accordance with specific criteria and standards, this is not your average-medium quality Chronograph. A sporty character and tradition, combined with state-of-the-art technology - these have always been the hallmarks of Mercedes Benz watches with the three-pointed star. This automatic chronograph is equipped with a refined version of the exclusive Valjoux 7750 caliber. Meticulous ornamentation and a top-quality oscillation and escapement system, distinguish this version from standard movements. The Sapphire crystal bottom, provides an insight into this fascinating world of technology. The car and the watch - both can be works of art. Just one look at this Mercedes-Benz chronograph will convince you of the artistry that has gone into the making of this fine timepiece. A three pieces stainless steel case that has a brushed finish, a screw-in crown and a slightly convex Sapphire crystal glass, will safeguard your precious Motorsport chronograph, for many years to come. The matte black dial with a crisp white Tachymeter scale on the outer edge, white minute/hour markers, small second t 9 o'clock, two sub-dials for the chronograph's function in a classic configuration at 9 and 12 o'clock and a raised stainless steel Mercedes Benz star logo next to the date at 3 o'clock, will make this timepiece an eye catcher at every sporty event and daily life. The Sapphire crystal bottom allows you to admire the <> of this timepiece, a fine Swiss made, top grade, Valjoux 7750 self winding movement, which incorporates no fewer than 25 Jewels and has a power reserve of 44 hours, blued screws and is accurate 0-10 seconds per day. Superluminova luminescent paint for the hour marker and hour/minute hands. The six screws stainless steel back, makes the watch water resistant to 10 ATM.

Water Resistance ....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs. Here are the facts in plain English: 1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory. Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch» 2. HOWEVER: The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition. I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours. On a side-note: only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do. Thanks for looking and buying a great and unique item. Have a great day !!!
