German luxury watch manufacturer Damasco introduces the DC76, a pilot's chronograph with a central coaxial counter and 24-hour counter. Featuring coaxial 60-second and 60-minute counters, this chronograph offers excellent legibility and, above all, quick readability. The DC76 is a true all-rounder that can be used not only by pilots, but also in everyday life and sports, making it the perfect companion.
●Unique Central Coaxial Counter
The DC76 is equipped with the C51-6, a unique design that places the 60-second and 60-minute counters in the center of the dial. This watch boasts excellent legibility, based on the design of the Lemania 5100, a well-known military chronograph movement. Damasco has adopted the acclaimed ETA 7750 as its base movement and made some improvements to it. However, rather than adding additional mechanisms to the dial, Damasco has made improvements to the movement itself, successfully incorporating the 60-second and 60-minute counters within the movement. This unique integrated structure allows the 60-minute counter to jump every minute, just like a standard chronograph, and is less prone to malfunctions. Another notable feature is the reduced case thickness. A 24-hour counter has been added at 3 o'clock on the dial for professional use.
●Professional-grade exterior
Damasco's pilot watches, developed in collaboration with Airbus, are equipped with features that meet the demands of professional use. This is also true of the DC76. The case, manufactured in Damasco's own factory, is hardened by blasting, and Damasco's unique Damasco system not only makes it water resistant to 100m despite being a chronograph, but also allows the chronograph to be operated in any environment. The case and bezel are molded as a single unit to prevent the crystal from coming off even in the event of sudden decompression. The domed sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating on the inside only to prevent scratches during use.
●An all-rounder for any purpose
The DC76 was created as an aviation watch for pilots, featuring a central coaxial counter that makes it easy to read the time, a power reserve of approximately 50 hours, and a case that is water resistant to 100m. However, these high performance features undoubtedly make it useful for everyday use as well.
