DOUBLE IMPACT
Switch to color and make a statement! That is the suggestion of this fully independent brand with its new series of chronographs in sharp lines.
The Abyss collection has taken us to a sporty, technological and masculine realm since 2005. In 2014, hints of color gave the timepieces an extra splurge of dynamism. Continuing this contemporary approach, Hysek is enhancing its catalog with two new versions of its Abyss 44 mm Chronograph. The first combines a predominantly black color scheme with hints of yellow on the chronograph and small second counters. Its strap bears a double colored line with calf leather inlay in a sports car inspired color scheme. The same solar shades are used in the inner bezel to illuminate the center of the dial. The second version offers a completely different color scheme in predominantly purple. This style gives the watch an elegant yet quirky charm. Like the collection’s previous creations, the hour circle contains four Arabic numerals covered in luminescent material. The two models also have a bezel encrusted with a sapphire disc.
The 44 mm titanium case houses a self-winding movement comprising 170 components. Once wound, this caliber regulated to vibrate at a frequency of 28 800 oscillations per hour displays the time, date and a short timer with a power reserve of 42 hours.
To guarantee uncompromising comfort to the wearer, the rotating lugs mold to the wrist perfectly. The alligator strap is fastened with a folding buckle.
