This new titanium chronograph will shake up the Swiss watch industry

An independent watch brand has just unveiled a titanium chronograph that redefines industry standards. Combining exceptional technical performance with refined design, this watch could well become the new benchmark for fine watchmaking enthusiasts looking for exclusivity.

A titanium chronograph that defies convention

The new Pandial Marina Bicompax Titanium Chronometer immediately stands out with its 43 mm case in grade 5 titanium. This high-tech material offers an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the watch to weigh just 72 grams despite its generous dimensions.

With a thickness of 15.9 mm and a lug-to-lug distance of 51.5 mm, this watch is clearly aimed at robust wrists. It nevertheless retains exceptional comfort thanks to the lightness of titanium.

The 100-meter water resistance makes this chronograph an ideal companion for all adventures, whether on land or in the water.

A sophisticated design that combines sportiness and elegance

The multi-level blue dial of the Pandial Marina is a true masterpiece of design:

  • An inclined telemetric scale on the flange
  • A striated timer
  • Luminescent applied indexes on a matte blue ring
  • A wavy pattern in the center of the dial
  • Two raised anthracite gray counters for seconds and 30 minutes
  • A black date window on a white background at 6 o'clock
  • The polished central hands, matching the indexes, are coated with Super-LumiNova for optimum readability in the dark.

    The dark blue aluminum outer bezel, graduated with a tachymeter scale, adds a sporty touch to the whole.

    A chronometer-certified movement for absolute precision

    At the heart of the Pandial Marina beats a highly modified Valjoux 7753 caliber, renamed BR-753. This automatic movement offers:

  • A 46-hour power reserve
  • A frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations/hour)
  • COSC chronometer certification guaranteeing exceptional precision
  • The finishing of the movement is particularly neat with:

  • A custom rotor
  • A pearl decor
  • Golden inscriptions
  • Blued screws
  • These refined details are visible through the transparent sapphire case back, a true window onto Swiss watchmaking art.

    An innovative bracelet for optimal comfort

    The Pandial Marina comes on a curved strap made of technical material reminiscent of sailcloth, lined with leather for added comfort. The titanium folding clasp, weighing just 8 grams, perfectly completes the ultra-light set.

    This choice of strap highlights the versatility of the watch, capable of moving from a professional environment to a sea trip without flinching.

    A limited edition that arouses covetousness

    The brand has opted for rarity by limiting production of the Pandial Marina to just 46 numbered pieces. This exclusivity, combined with a price of 3,250 Swiss francs, makes it a particularly attractive proposition on the high-end chronograph market.

    This strategic positioning allows the brand to offer exceptional value for money, challenging much more established watchmaking houses.

    A concentrate of Swiss watchmaking innovation

    The Pandial Marina Bicompax Titanium Chronometer stands out for its impressive technical features:

  • 43mm Grade 5 Titanium Case
  • Domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment
  • COSC certified automatic chronograph movement
  • Waterproof to 100 meters
  • Chronograph, date, telemeter and tachymeter functions
  • This watch represents a technical tour de force, combining cutting-edge materials, high-precision movement and advanced features in an aesthetically pleasing package.

    A watch that redefines industry standards

    With the Pandial Marina, the brand demonstrates its ability to compete with the biggest names in Swiss watchmaking. This titanium chronograph offers a perfect balance between:

  • Technical performance: certified movement, innovative materials
  • Refined design: neat finishes, versatile aesthetics
  • Exclusivity: limited, numbered production
  • Unbeatable value for money: aggressive pricing positioning
  • This watch is an obvious choice for discerning collectors looking for a unique piece that combines Swiss watchmaking tradition with technical innovation. It proves that it is still possible to offer high-quality watches at reasonable prices, thus restoring the nobility of the affordable luxury chronograph segment.

    The Pandial Marina Bicompax Titanium Chronometer is not just a watch, it is a statement of intent. It heralds the advent of a new generation of Swiss chronographs, where quality, innovation and affordability are no longer mutually exclusive. The big names in watchmaking would do well to take note: a new era is dawning in the world of luxury watches.
