Model: Citizen Campanola "Grand Complication" 6771-T010768TA Minute Repeater

Year: September 2013

Features:

The Functionality. The Campanola “Grand Complication” is aptly named. A moon phase, leap year perpetual triple calendar, 12-hour split-time chronograph, 24-hour dial, and a minute repeater. Most of those functions won’t need any explanation, but a minute repeater deserves to be talked about.

The Minute Repeater. When you press and hold the minute repeater button, a chime plays different sounds to indicate the time. A musical Morse-code for time keeping, if you will. Interestingly, the chime can be set independently of the time displayed on the watch, allowing it to function as a GMT “hand.”

The Craftsmanship. The grandeur of this watch extends beyond its movement. It features a double-domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a hand-lacquered urushi dial with flecks of embedded titanium that gives it a starry aesthetic, and don't forget Citizen’s patented “Duratect” coating - a surface treatment that makes the metal five times harder than steel. Like Grand Seiko watches, all Campanolas are hand-made and hand-assembled in Japan by Citizen’s master craftsmen.
