Chronodate Gold boasts a 42.5 mm case that continues the neo-retro spirit of this sporty chronograph. The movement is housed in a container machined from a carbon-fibre composite. Around this container, Angelus has designed an attachment system consisting of an openworked cradle that brings the case middle and lugs into a single line, made of 5N red gold.
Angelus has chosen to give the Chronodate imposing counters that offer optimal readability. The counters are set on a deep-black dial fittingly described as “velvet black”, punctuated with large applied Arabic numerals with Super-LumiNova.
Inside, Angelus has installed its calibre A-500 displaying the small seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock. Encircling the dial, a hand sweeps over the peripheral date display. Oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz, the calibre incorporates a column wheel and operates via a self-winding system with an oscillating weight in 5N red gold shaped like a capital letter “A” above a star – Angelus’ emblem. A reference to the early days of Angelus right at the heart of the mechanism.
