Compared to the latter, the new one is a two counter chrono that boasts a new dial where the three mice run along a spyral that represents a tachy scale from 20km/h to 390km/h, applied on a 3 layer dial. The timepiece has a 44mm wide AISI 316 L stainless steel case equipped with a swiss made automatic caliber (no information yet about the movement but we could expect it to be an ETA Valjoux 7750).The TCM Crono Sorci Verdi Mancino comes on a leather strap with green stitching and retails for 2,980€.
