The car and the watch - both can be works of art. Just one look at this ,,Mercedes-Benz Valjoux" chronograph will convince you of the artistry that has gone into the making of this fine timepiece. The name of the Mercedes-Benz has so far been exclusively due to products of outstanding quality on four wheels. In unlimited series. This latest product to emerge from the eminent house with the historical star and laurel wreath is something completely new: the entire edition is restricted to 2000 pieces. One thousand in steel, one thousand in an exclusive bi-color finish. And each and every watch guarantees all the classical elegance and the exclusive aura which are synonymous with the name Mercedes-Benz. A glance at this watch tells you more than just the time. Meticulously designed, using only the highest quality materials and components, the chronograph is protected against shock loads, variations in temperature, water and dust. The inscription ,,Valjoux" on the dial, adds that special unique touch to your chronograph. Valjoux is the specialist in chronograph clock and watch movements, providing Mercedes Benz with just the partner they were looking for.The movement designated 7750 shows the day of the week and the date, as well as one large and three smaller time zones including stop functions. The Mercedes watch is also waterproof (dive-proof up to depths of 100 meters), has a blue tinged steel hand and a screw-mounted winding button using the ,,twin-lock" principle. The base is made of sapphire glass, offering a fascinating insight into the intricate workings of the movement. And the convex sapphire glass at the top, literally adds an aura of exclusivity: just breathe onto it and see the historical Mercedes Benz star logo appear for a few moments like a ghostly manifestation; the symbol is applied to the glass surface using ultra-fine metallization with a thickness of only 20 A. This detail is a special sign of the authenticity of this watch.An all stainless steel case with the special Museum design, inspired by the historical Mercedes Benz star logo, 18K yellow gold plated top bezsel and the special convex sapphire crystal glass, will safeguard your precious timepiece for many years to come. The high quality beige/ivory dial that has a <> pattern in the center, crisp black printed Roman numerals for the classical look, three red sub-dial counters in the classic Valjoux configuration, blue tinged steel hour, minute and second hands, and the day in German and date in window at 3 o'clock, will make this timepiece an eye catcher. The classical design of the dial is underlined by the moon design of the hour and minute hands and the Valjoux and Automatic black logotype next to the day and date display. 18k yellow gold plated crown and pushers to match the dial and the top bezel. Red hands for the sub-dials, to match the red Mercedes-Benz logotype from the top bezel. The sapphire crystal bottom allows you to admire the <> of this timepiece, a fine Swiss made, top grade, Valjoux 7750 self winding movement, which incorporates no fewer than 25 Jewels and has a power reserve of 48 hours. The six screws stainless steel glass bottom, makes the watch water resistant to 10 ATM. The watch secures on your wrist with a hand made in Germany brown genuine Louisiana Alligator leather band and closes with a deployant stainless steel buckle.Sapphire crystals. Diamond hardness is 10, Sapphire is 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Virtually scratch proof.Thermally blued hands are better than chemically blued or painted hands. The proof is all there, check out the blue hands of watches dating back to the 40s. Almost no sign of age. By bluing steel, the metal becomes resistant to corrosion. However, the most notable aspect of blued steel is the captivating hue the shade evinces. This technique it's reserved to high end watches, being very expensive and laborious, time consuming.ATTENTION !!! I also have this model, the one with a crocodile black leather band, silver case and white dial, superb combination, in like new condition, complete with original box and papers. Or another one like this, new, but with a green Crocodile leather band, brand new in the box. Just browse my collection or simply message me !!!

Please don't hold me responsible for the carriers performance. Water Resistance ....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs. Here are the facts in plain English: 1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory. Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch» 2. HOWEVER: The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition. I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours. On a side-note: only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do. Thanks for looking and buying a great and unique item. Have a great day !!!
