Franc Vila Chronograph Grand Date Watch

The Franc Vila Chronograph Grand Date watch seamlessly unites two popular horological complications. ?A defining example of the luxury watchmaking vision that has made Franc Vila a bright new star on the horological frontier, this timepiece is both a practical companion, and a strong statement of individuality. ?

Presented in rose gold, white gold, titanium with red gold accents, or Die Hard Stainless Steel with or without a stealthy black treatment, the Franc Vila Chronograph Grand Date watch immediately stands apart in the field of luxury timepieces. ?Its imposing 55 x 45mm case shares the striking "Esprit Unique" form of all Franc Vila models--a striking design in which intricate finishing contrasts play as significant a part as the shape itself in capturing the eye. ?Haute Joaillerie versions set with round brilliant diamonds are also available, to accommodate clients with particularly opulent tastes.

A truly impressive degree of detail characterizes each Franc Vila dial--a space in which guilloche mother of pearl, carbon fiber, textured gold, or blued steel converge to produce a vision of contemporary artistic beauty.

?The harmony of these varied materials is given added appeal by the symmetry of the three chronograph subdials and the cutout for the large date display.

Ticking softly within the Franc Vila Chronograph Grand Date watch is the Caliber FV8Ch. ?This self-winding mechanical movement animates a chronograph complication with central chrono seconds and 12-hour and 30-minute counters; the date display is presented in two windows, a technically advanced solution that optimizes legibility and elegance. ?A sapphire crystal exhibition window is featured in the caseback, allowing an expansive view of the finely finished movement with its exclusive "Gold Concept" central rotor.

A crocodile leather strap and a deployant buckle in Diehard Extreme Steel or 18-karat gold completes the Franc Vila Chronograph Grand Date watch. ?The sapphire crystals on both sides of the watch are treated with an anti-glare treatment, and the winding crown screws down against the Esprit Unique case.

?Water resistance of this Franc Vila timepiece is rated for 100 meters.
