The inspiration

The « Automobile » Chronograph collection draws inspiration in the 1960s, in the legendary races and automobile adventures of that era.

The Panda dial

A sandwich type construction dial.

The green lower plate receives the photoluminescent material Swiss Super-LumiNova® to ensure optimum readability. This plate also accommodates the sub-counters and the chronograph graduations.

The top plate is white/cream, with a slight gradient. This plate is machined to create the 3 counters and the indexes.

100% Swiss made

LAVENTURE watches are produced entirely in Switzerland mostly in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the cradle of Swiss watchmaking.

LAVENTURE produces only very exclusive limited series. When a model is sold out, it is over, it will not be reproduced.

The superdome

Superdome crystal made from PLEXIGLAS®.

Why PLEXIGLAS® instead of Sapphire ?

It is lighter, there is less reflection, it is more resistant to violent shocks, it is made in Switzerland, it is resolutely "Vintage" and patina over time. The scratches repolish very easily. (something you can do yourself when you want your PLEXIGLAS to be new again).

The metal bracelet

This collection is fitted with a 316L stainless steel bracelet that follows the curves of the case. Its width, which evolves over the first four links, its finesse and its finishes gives it incredible comfort (even more comfortable than the rubber bracelets that already were).
