Meredith

A DIAL OF CLASSIC COLOUR

The copper dial of the Meredith is a timeless hue that works against all skin tones and is a universally appealing colour for all occasions. The circular grained dial and simply balanced bi-compax sub-dial layout contrasts against the application of highly polished octane blue hands and raised numerals. A pure white tachymeter scale (used for measuring speed based on time), frames the dial to complete the statement design.

COMPACT AND ELABORATE CASE

Each of the Chrono-Classic dial editions are housed in an elaborate marine-grade steel case which has a 13.2mm height from the base to its domed sapphire crystal peak. The compact and elegant steel case compliments the details of the dial while being highly wearable on the wrist at 39mm in size. The sapphire glass has an internal multi-layer anti-reflective coating. Case details include a bead-blasted inset on the case sides, with contrasting polished borders. A stainless steel crown with a recessed bronze cap finishes off the exterior styling, flanked by two oblong pushers. The case back is a screw-down type and features a polished and brushed finish, that frames an exhibition sapphire glass, showing off the delicately finished movement within.

The real talking point with the Chrono-Classic collection is the movement. Dubois Dépraz is a name that needs little introduction, working with some of the world’s most famous Swiss watch brands. The DD2022 movement features a 43-hour power reserve and has an overall thickness of just 6.9mm, decorated with blue screws and finished with a bespoke bronze coloured cut out turbine rotor. When you study most Chronograph watches you will notice that the crown is offset against the start/stop buttons. Once you have noticed this it’s hard to ignore and that’s why Dubois Dépraz have created an innovative solution that aligns the crown centrally in the casing. Not only does it make ‘on wrist’ adjustment much easier but it creates an aesthetically pleasing look to the side of the case.

STORY

When chronographs arrived in the Olympics in the early 20th century, they set new precedents for accurate timing. Before the 1912 Olympics, judges of each discipline used their own stopwatches, often supplied by different brands, which led to many inaccuracies with timing results. In 1912, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) introduced an official timekeeper. For the first time, chronographs were used to accurately record times in athletics down to one-hundredth of a second. The Chrono-Classic collection pays tribute to some of the ground-breaking, British Olympic gold medallists from the 1912 games in Stockholm.

Named after Leonard Meredith, who took gold in the Cycling Team Pursuit at the 1908 Olympics in London. Meredith competed in three Olympics and held seven world titles in his 22-year professional career.
