Carl F. Bucherer Patravi EvoTec BigDate Women Mechanical Wristwatch

Unlike most of the models, especially jewelry ones, produced for women, the new Carl F. Bucherer watch is equipped by refined mechanical movement, completely developed in the company’s workshops. Most of the female watches emphasize feminine design and graceful lines, suppressing the time-telling functionality all away to the background, by using simple but accurate quartz movements. However, mechanical watchmaking remains the cream of the watchmaker’s crop, and it is especially admired by the connoisseurs and experts in the matters of good taste.



The Patravi EvoTec BigDate utilizes CFB A1000 automatic movement equipped with 33 jewels and providing 55 hours of power reserve. The centered skeletonized hands on the mother of pearl dial indicate the time, gently flowing over the diamond time-markers. A double date window is featured at 11 o’clock, while the lover portion of the dial remains reserved for the small seconds indicator, elegantly nested in a cushion-shaped frame.



The beautiful feminine edition never sacrifices the esthetic appeal for mechanical and technical excellence. The mighty movement is here nested in a stainless steel cushion-shaped case, measuring 39.2 mm x 38.5 mm.



The watch is available in four different variations. The color of the dial ranges from white mother of pearl with creamy outer frame, to black Tahitian mother-of-pearl with a black dome-shaped framework. Two of the models are graced with 56 high-quality diamonds, approximately weighing 1.1 carats. The choice of strap ranges from watersnake skin to python skin, for white models; and from alligator to calfskin, for black models.

The watches are water resistant to 50 meters, protected with the domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, and secured from water by a screw-down crown.

The new watches will be officially presented at the BaselWorld, and their price is yet to be announced but, according to the SwissTime, it is estimated to be somewhere between $20.000 and $50.000.
