It was a long path of try and tribulation: After a first implementation in modular design, it became clear that an integrated chronograph mechanism would be the better option. Thus, 2013 began with the work on a corresponding caliber. The base movement chosen again was the proven chrono movement ETA 7750.
After four years of development work in-house, they were on target in 2017 and presented the caliber C51. The focus point of the redesign was the jumping minute stop hand, for which a new mechanism was constructed, involving, among other things, five additional gears.
The new C51 movement in the DC 80 chronograph had its premiere, dispensing entirely with auxiliary dials and concentrating on the seconds and minutes counters from the center.
But the caliber C51 can do a lot more. Thanks to the integrated chronograph mechanism, it is possible to place a date disc directly under the dial - not implemented deep inro the movement, as with some modular constructions. And the free space on the dial can be used for other ads, such as the display of a second time zone.
After the chronograph DC 82 with stop minute hand and date display, the model DC 86 now appears as the next sequel. The DC 86 is equipped with the Damasko caliber C51-6, which in addition to the stop second and minute out of the middle also counts the hours - on a sub-dial at «6». At «9» you will find the small second, while at «3» there is an additional 24-hour display, which always moves in the same way as the main time.
The display of stop seconds and minutes out of the center is a benefit to readability supported by the color scheme: all chronograph functions are „green“, the fully colored seconds hand and the minute hand with a green tip (plane silhouette) as well as the index and hand of the hour sub counter at the «6».
