About this entry

84% of key specs known. Missing: hardening, bracelet links, end links.

A separate model from the C1 Bel Canto: box sapphire crystal ("unique to the Bel Canto Classic", "domed box sapphire crystal" in the handbook), 13.2mm height, Roman-numeral subdial and femto-laser guilloché platine; same FS01 chiming module on a Sellita SW200-1 base (the Classic handbook says SW200-1 b), showing hours and minutes only. Sources conflict: the product pages list 29 jewels, 53g and -5/+12 s/day; the Classic handbook lists 32 jewels, 52g and -5/+12; the Negroni handbook 29 jewels, 53g and -20/+20. Product-page values are used. The Negroni pages list no lume grade; the other dials use Super-LumiNova X1 BL C1. Weights: 113g on the Bader bracelet, 99g on the Consort; leather pages give 78g, but three of them say 113g, so no strap weight is recorded. Negroni (blue on/off indicator) is a limited edition of 300 per its product pages. Bader bracelet is Grade 2 titanium with single screw links and quick-release; the Classic handbook gives five micro-adjust positions (max 10mm) operated with the clasp open (toolless), while the Negroni handbook says three positions and 6mm. Optional Grade 2 titanium five-link Consort bracelet (+$100) with ultra-slim butterfly clasp. Release year not checked.
