The Calibre S is the first breakthrough in quartz-powered chronographs movements since they were invented in the early 1980s. Unlike the first generation of quartz still marketed today and which copied the display architecture of mechanical movements, the Calibre S introduces a second generation of movements, free of any constraint and displaying time and information in the most logical and elegantly possible ways.

Simply put: hours are displayed with the central hour hand in the Time mode and Chronograph mode; minutes are displayed with the central minute hand in the Time mode, and Chronograph mode; and seconds are displayed with the central seconds hand in the Time mode and Chronograph mode. The left semi-circular counter displays tenths of a second in the Chronograph mode, while the left semi-circular counter displays hundredths of a second. To switch from standard Time mode to Chronograph mode, all one does is press the crown once to access the Chronograph mode.

The Calibre S has the definitive attributes of a competitive yachting timepiece, including: water resistance to 300 meters; 1/100th of a second precision; scratch-resistant sapphire crystal; fixed aluminum bezel; luminescent hands and markers; hand-applied indexes and semi-circular counters; triple-row steel bracelet with a double safety clasp and bracelet extension for full wearing comfort over a sailing suit.

Available with distinctive anthracite dial with sunray affect, the Aquaracer Calibre S is the superlative aquatic sports chronograph - easy to use and a breeze to read.
