blue giant

Jacob & Co.’s newest chronograph is the stunning blue crown on top of the Epic X collection. The Epic X Chrono Tourbillon has a PVD finish and a blue-coated titanium case. Hard and scratch-resistant to begin with, this coating does much more than just aesthetics, its character is enhanced. It is satin-finished in different directions following the shape of each component: the bezel is round, the pusher guards are horizontal, and the lugs are two-way. The hints of the Epic X design matrix are clearly visible. The claw-shaped lugs line up with the vertical bars on the translucent blue dial, forming the original X pattern from which the Epic X is named.

summer theme

The blue chosen for the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon is neither electric nor deep black, but a pleasingly light and crisp hue, highlighted by many white secondary elements. The crown and pushers are made of white ceramic, as are the side inlays on each lug. The hands of the main and sub-dials are skeletonized white. The same goes for the rubber strap with its central honeycomb pattern, which is another throwback to the original Epic X design. top luxury replica watches

underwater capability

The inner bezel is driven by its own crown and thus functions as a protected rotating bezel. Combined with a titanium case that is water resistant to 200 meters, this makes the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon a fully functional dive watch. This includes the last ten minutes on the minute ring being painted dark blue, a useful feature for divers as it signals they are running out of oxygen.

Advanced Mechanics

The automatic movement JCAA09 is a new Jacob & Co. exclusive movement. This column wheel dual pusher chronograph features a biaxial chronograph with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. It complements the Jacob & Co. One Minute Flying Tourbillon. Without upper bridges, the tourbillon cage sits on the same level as the sapphire and mineral glass dial. The continuous flush effect helps to seamlessly integrate the tourbillon into the overall design of the piece. Crescent shaped, openworked, the upper side of the cage is a typical Jacob & Co. design.
