Things to Know About the Watch
An integrated chronograph with sporty elegance, the new Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Steel ref. PFC931-1020001-400182-EN is equipped with a stainless case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 12.9 mm in thickness. Its knurled bezel comprises 160 incisions, rather than the 225 incisions on the bezel of the regular Tonda PF collection, creating a bolder play of light and reflection that underlines its sportier character. The dial is decorated with a hand guilloché with a ‘triangular nail’ pattern and the applied hour markers are coated with black SuperLuminova.
A signature of Parmigiani Fleurier, the knurled bezel in this model boasts pronounced notches, setting it apart from the regular collection with a bold, distinctive look. The ‘Clou Triangulaire’ guilloché dial features a captivating triangular hobnail pattern that beautifully catches and reflects the light. The flange with a minute and 10th of a second scale, along with the counters are meticulously color-matched to ensure aesthetic harmony.
The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph transcends its primary function to become an object of modern elegance, a symbol of hedonism and sporting escape. Whether to enhance moments of relaxation and leisure or to bring a touch of refinement to sporting events without stealing the show, this watch adapts with ease.
The dial with highly contrasting chronograph counters in Milano Blue —Navy—, London Grey —almost taupe—, or Arctic Grey —Light Blue— are positioned in a tri-compax layout with running seconds at 6 o’clock, 12-hour chrono register at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute chrono register at 3 o’clock and a very small and discreet date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. The triangular nail hand guilloché is exquisitely executed and the counters are all smooth and slightly grainy finished with white transfers.
The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Steel is delivered on a rubber strap texturized to resemble a sailcloth. The straps are equipped with a double folding clasp in stainless steel.
