Inspired by the benchmark caliber 1120 movement introduced in the 1960s, the new caliber 2450 movement has preserved the same resolutely modern approach in both design and manufacture and has remained faithful to its concept, which was based on technical perfection and a set of time-honored values. It harmoniously integrates watch and calendar functions, displaying the date, hour, minute, and, by means of a central hand, the seconds. Its proportions – 3.60 mm high and 25.6 mm in diameter (11½ lignes) – are perfectly suitable for men’s range of models. Beating at a rate of 28,800 vibrations an hour, this movement has a power reserve exceeding 40 hours. Lastly, the open bottom was provided with a large ice sapphire which makes it possible to admire the new estampillé automatic movement.
