The new DS Podium Valgranges expresses cutting-edge sport-classical values in a pure, highly aesthetic form. Its satin-finished steel case carries a contrasting polished steel bezel with clear and bright tachymeter markings. The sporty basic-black dial face and its outstanding attention to detail are protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflection coating, on both sides of the glass. Chronograph timing is shown by red-coloured hands, large seconds, hours and minutes over round areas with delicately machined concentric circles, in a tasteful play of light and texture. A silvery border brings a gentle highlight, at the 3 and 6 o'clock positions. A transparent watch case back reveals the superb finesse and artistry of the exceptional Valgranges movement, for all to see and behold. The DS Podium Automatic Chrono is available in different configurations. One model carries a stylish brown leather strap, while another version has light silvery chrono counters, and a satin-finished solid stainless steel bracelet, for an even sportier note.
