About this entry

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

Current production uses the Sellita SW200-2 "Power+" (brand: minimum 60h, typical 65h power reserve); the original 2023 version and the older handbook list the SW200-1 (38-41h). Brand timing tolerance -5/+12 s/day (positions not stated); "Elaboré" is from the brand's "Elaboré 'Colimaçoné' finish" wording. Lug width is the 25mm integrated bracelet/strap width. Case 65g and "weight inc. strap" 160g on the bracelet are the brand's product-page figures; the bracelet accessory page lists the bracelet alone at 83g (170mm), which would total about 148g, so the 160g figure is uncertain. Bracelet: integrated, single links with single screws, tapers from 25mm to 17mm, integrated ends using The Twelve quick-release system. Butterfly clasp micro-adjust: with the clasp closed, pull either side to extend 1.5mm per side (3mm total) and push back to shorten (handbook; Gear Patrol calls it on-the-fly). Links per row, solid end links and clasp construction not stated. Crystal shape not stated. Several bracelet versions were listed as pre-order on 2026-10-20. Also made in 36 and 38mm steel and in titanium (different specs).
