Inspired by its Cuban roots, Cuervo y Sobrinos brings a Caribbean flavor to Swiss watchmaking. The new Torpedo Pirata Chrono Day Date offers a wealth of details, inspired by the buccaneers who once plundered ships along the Cuban coast.
The lugs reproduce the bow of a pirate vessel, a design repeated in the buckle on the strap, while the crown has the shape of a globe. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The automatic chronograph caliber movement with day/date calendar sits inside an ingenious case whose modular construction lends itself to all kinds of creativity, such as the use of steel; an innovation compared with previous Torpedo Pirata watches which are sculpted from bronze, a favorite metal of the great buccaneers of the seventeenth century.
The watch features a mechanical automatic movement – CYS 3061 caliber on a Valjoux 7750 base, and has a 48-hour power reserve and has the hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph, day and date functions. The stainless steel and titanium case back is engraved with the words Pirata de el Tiempo de la vida and measures 45 mm in diameter. The sapphire crystal, is glare-proofed on both sides. The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters.
The watch has a velvet black dial with luminescent hands and markers and the hours counter at 6 o’clock, minutes counter at 12 o’clock, small seconds at 9 o’clock, day/date windows at 3 o’clock. The strap is made from Louisiana alligator leather.
