The Laureato Chronograph Ti49 is housed in a 42 mm case and follows the iconic design language first adopted for the first model in 1975.
The tonneau-shaped case rests on a pedestal, which in turn rests on an octagonal bezel. The multifaceted and angular nature of the case creates light and shadow by reflecting light as it freely clings to the intricate contours of the case. The manufacture of Loréat bezels, cases, and bracelets has historically been distinctly complex, but this complexity has been further enhanced by the use of grade 5 titanium for the first time in the latest generation of chronographs.
This highly regarded alloy as a material has a warm color. The use of grade 5 titanium also allowed for contrasting finishes. A satin finish is combined with a beautiful polished finish. The rounded base, the beautifully crafted case edges, the chronograph push-buttons, and the center links of the bracelet all have an attractive gleam to them.
The couleur de Paris pattern complements the gray of the dial. The gray PVD-coated baton-shaped hour and minute hands are combined with baton-shaped indexes, both hands and indexes coated with white luminescent material that glows white in the dark.
The three counters with swirling finishes: 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter, and small seconds further accentuate the dial, while the date display between 4 and 5 o'clock rounds out the numerous functions. The white color not only contrasts beautifully with the gray dial, but also contributes to enhanced legibility.
The lightweight case of the Laureato Chronograph Ti49 houses the in-house GP03300 caliber, a 419-part self-winding movement with beautiful finishes: circular and straight grain "Côtes de Genève," perlage, satin-finish, It is also decorated with a variety of beveled, mirror-finished, spiral-engraved, engraved, sun-finished, and blued steel screws.
