Clarity, You Notice Every Day
Every element is placed with intention —
nothing competes for attention.
The layout remains calm and structured,
so you don’t need to search for information.
You simply read it — at a glance.
A More Unified Dial
The dial is designed as a continuous surface,
with subdials integrated into the whole.
This creates a balanced composition —
something you appreciate more over time.
A watch that stays visually calm,
even after years of wear.
Swiss Parts Chronograph — Built to Last
Powered by the RONDA 5030.D Swiss Parts chronograph movement —
a proven calibre known for its precision, durability, and stable performance.
So you can rely on it, day after day —
without adjustment or concern.
Sapphire Crystal — Built for Daily Wear
Highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
keeps the dial clear and protected.
Even after years of daily use,
your watch still looks clean and easy to read.
Designed for Everyday Situations
From work to everyday life,
it fits naturally into your routine.
Clean and well-balanced in design,
it adapts easily to different styles and settings.
Always appropriate —
without overthinking.
A watch you can wear every day.
Every Function, Clearly Placed
Each subdial is clearly positioned for intuitive use:
•Right subdial (3 o'clock): Continuous running seconds, showing the watch is active.
•Left subdial (9 o'clock): 30-minute counter, for measuring elapsed time.
•Lower subdial (6 o'clock): 12-hour counter, perfect for tracking longer durations.
•Central hand: Dedicated chronograph seconds for precision timing.
Everything is arranged in a clear, balanced layout —
so you can read it instantly, without confusion.
A Considered Use of Color
The palette is deliberately restrained —
black, white, and red.
Each color serves a purpose:
Black for depth and calm
White for clarity and contrast
Red for precise emphasis
Nothing is decorative.
Everything is functional.
The Idea Behind DESSAU
Dessau is where Bauhaus evolved into a clear system —
where design became structured, rational, and easy to understand.
This chronograph follows the same thinking:
reduce complexity, organize information,
and make everything instantly readable.
