CHRONOLUNAR DLC 47mm

The ChronoLunar model combines two fascinating and captivating complications; an automatic chronograph and a complete calendar system. Embodying the spirit of fine watchmaking, it is an expression of tradition that evolved in harmony with the vision of Ernst Benz.

As in the historical timepieces from which this model draws inspiration, the distinguishing feature of the ChronoLunar lies in the distinctive way it indicates the position of the calendar. Embodying an authentic demonstration of mechanical ingenuity, its calendar displays the day, month and phases of the moon through apertures, while a half moon center hand indicates the date.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a unique, high-tech black coating developed for aeronautical use that when applied makes the surface of the steel case more scratch resistant, while creating a modern appearance and offering an updated interpretation of the vintage aesthetic that Ernst Benz is known for.
