Carl F. Bucherer BiCompax Annual

Modern Interpretation of a Design Classic The Heritage BiCompax Annual combines the vintage flair of the watch that inspired it with contemporary features, such as a 41 mm stainless steel case. The chronograph features the BiCompax dial design of its retro predecessor: two symmetrically arranged totalizators are positioned on the horizontal central axis and framed by a tachymeter scale. Two versions of the watch are available, each of which is limited to 888 pieces – a nod to 1888, the founding year of Carl F. Bucherer. Watch connoisseurs can choose from a model with a champagne-colored dial, cognac brown calfskin leather strap, and rose gold accents, or a model with a case in full stainless steel and a silver-colored dial, black totalizators, and a textile strap. Both watches revive the rebellious spirit of the early 1950s and combine it with the highest standards of state-of-the-art watchmaking technology.

Mechanical Heart The Heritage BiCompax Annual may be reminiscent of its retro predecessor on the outside, but it is powered by an ultra-modern automatic movement on the inside. The CFB 1972 caliber boasts 42 hours of power reserve, satisfying even highly demanding technical requirements. The fact that a convenient automatic movement now powers this watch is not the only modern refinement compared to the original. The new version also features an annual calendar and a large date display that takes the different month lengths – 28, 30, and 31 days – into account, which means it would only need to be corrected during a leap year.
