REX Quadrato Ufficiali 2011
This model fits perfectly in the most exclusive room of the ship, where Officers meet for dining and planning: the "Quadrato Ufficiali". Made in original Teak Wood from East Timor, in the far east seas, it is a very elegant choice from the Lexychron collection !REX Ponte Comando 2010
The new REX "Ponte Comando" (Captain's Bridge) has Palladium Coated body and bracelet elements. While keeping the overall spirit of the REX collection, the "Ponte Comando" has more gentle details, suitable for Captains and Superior Officiers in general. A black true leather bracelet completes this Rex model with the right touch of elegance.
REX Sala Macchine 2010
The new REX 2010 "Sala Macchine" has structures in Stainless Steel Alloy 316 with lightweight riveted structure inspired to ship building techniques.
Dial and hands have large fluorescent elements perfectly suitable for long use in dark and difficult environments.
We selected a dark blue stingray bracelet for this Rex model.
Rex Sala Macchine 2009
The first model we created for the REX is called "Sala Macchine" (Engine Room) and its dial is inspired to the Engine Order Telegraph used to deliver information between the commading deck and the machine room and its overall look reminds of the glorious days of ocean navigation ! The case and bracelet brackets are made of Aerospace Aluminum Alloy.
Saturnia 2009
The smallest model of our collection derives its name from another Italian ocean liner which was crossing the ocean weekly from Trieste to New York between 1930 and 1950.
Inspired by the overall design of the Rex, featuring the same innovative bracelet attachment, the Saturnia is about half Rex's size and has a more gentle and delicate aesthetic suitable for ladies. The dial is fully glowing in the dark.
Basic Features
Our watches feature a unique and original attachment of the bracelet in only 2 points of the case with hinges at 3 and 9 hours. While few other watches have a similar attachment, we are the only one featuring the setting crone still at 3 o'clock. The case has two front and backside bezels holding sapphire glasses and it is assembled by six customized screws and nuts in a design that represents at the same time a porthole and the head of a steam engine cylinder or the case of high perssure steam turbine. The brackets that connect the case to the bracelet are arched for a perfect ergonomic contact to the wrist and are inspired to the connecting rods of reciprocating engines.
The various models are then differentiated by their sizes, use of materials and colors as well as dials and other aesthetic details inspired to different marine architectural elements.
Customization
We offer the full customization of dials and hands starting from our basic designs. We are in contact with our suppliers from the definition of their requirements to the design and production of their customized ChronoLex watches.
