Instrument de Vitesse Indianapolis Blue
Description
Matt and refined with vintage style: Instrument de Vitesse presents the purest expression of a chronograph, with no sub-counters. The collection sets the tone with its Indianapolis blue dial. Its finely printed tachymeter scale is dedicated to speed and is as functional as a dashboard instrument.
Things are not always what they seem. At first glance, Instrument de Vitesse could be a highly refined three-hand watch. Only its discreet tachymeter scale, printed on the edge of the dial, and its name point us in the right direction: this is a chronograph designed for short bursts, an instrument for measuring average speed over a maximum of 60 seconds. Thus, the purpose of the button on the crown becomes clear: a single push-piece that triggers the slender direct-drive central seconds hand.
